Really great tool - allows me to get an overview of the news I care about without a ton of different tabs/apps etc. And the best part is no login - 5 stars from me!
RSSence is surprisingly amazing - and for those of you who own OLED monitors, this ironically does a great job keeping enough screen real estate to be "active" enough to prevent auto-dimming. However - I really like getting news as snippets in a calming manner and the no login is really nice too.
