About Desktop Ticker

 

The Desktop Ticker is a free aggregator application that allows you to keep an eye on your favourite RSS and Atom web feeds whilst you work on your computer. Once feeds have been added, the article titles scroll across the screen. Article summaries are displayed when the mouse cursor is placed over an article title, and the full article can be opened in a web browser by clicking on the article title. The feeds are automatically downloaded after the specified interval to show updated content.

 

 

Options include specifying whether all articles are displayed from the feed or just articles created within a set time period, colour coding articles based on their age, and adjusting the scroll speed.

 

 

Compatible with news sites such as BBC News and CNN, and many other sites including Gmail, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr. Click here to learn about web feeds.
