Love it!

I’m surprised how much I use it, not having tried the older version. It’s translucent, so it doesn’t distract from the beauty of the screen saver beneath. It appears vertically along the left side of your screen. You can close it, but I end up leaving mine open all the time as breaking news keeps appearing at the top, which you can scroll through if you’ve been away from your computer. I keep mine primarily on “All Feeds”, but you can also select Sport, Tech, or News. (Although most of the news shows up in All Feeds… It’s rare to have a selection from the news category.) When you see a headline of interest, simply click on it and you can go directly to the main story to read more. It’s a time saver if you like to know what’s going on in the world, but can’t tolerate suffering through an hour of politics or entertainment before todays TV news finally gets to the point—or don’t have the time to be surfing the internet. Great job, developers of this new Newsbar RSS Reader! (The only thing I can’t tell you is how it compares to the previous version.)

Hesitantly Excited about NewsBar RSS reader
