SlimRss is a program(a news aggregator) to read RSS news feeds. SlimRss collects news in the background at user configurable intervals and warns for news with a little popup window or by just coloring it's icon in the system tray. You can click the news headline to see a short description of the news and then click read more which will open your default browser to open the original news web page. You can also configure SlimRss to open directly the default browser without the short description window in between.
SlimRss support RSS versions 0.9x, 1.0 and 2.0.
The current version of SlimRss:
Very intuitive way of handling new news and old news: This is the big difference with most readers, SlimRss doesn't store all the news. News is only important when it's new..and when you haven't seen it. Once you seen it SlimRss will get rid of it. Saving hard disk space and you trouble from deleting the news. As long as the news is still on the feed tho you can reretrieve it with the option get previous news.
