Keeps Me Up on the News
The RSS Bot resides on the menu bar. After you add some content to follow, it organizes a list of titles that is easy to scan to decide if a topic is worth reading. When a topic is clicked it opens on the desktop and disappears from the RSS Bot menu. If nothing appeals, you can mark all topics as read and the list disappears.
Its very intuitive and easy to learn. If you want to read something later, you can save an article to the "reading list" in Safari. When new content arrives, it gives you a brief system notification when setup in Preferences. You can also assign a notification sound.
I have been using it for over a week and it works without glitches and stays out of the way of other software on your desktop. I can recommend it with no reservations.
