Random Technology Ramblings

Some time back there was a cool little application that would run in your systray and would start to blink if there were any new news stories up on some web site. This app was cool because it kept me in touch with the real word as I clicked way in my little virtual world. Well for some reason it was killed off and I have been keeping my eyes open for another app like it and I think I may have found it! It’s called SharpReader it will check RSS feeds and shows “notification” when a new item is downloaded and changes the systray icon. I wish the source was available for this I would make a few small changes but even as is it’s quite nice.
