Tickershock - A non-standard RSS reader
I use NNW Lite and I NEVER look at the main window. I find it a pain having to keep moving up to the toolbar to mark headlines as read and then back down to the sources to choose the next site.
NNW
I bring the app to the front and use the space bar to go from one article to the next unread article. Each article is marked read as I select it (on rare occassions this is annoying, but almost always how I want it). Manually changing sources and articles is done with the arrow keys. My hands never leave the keyboard.
NNW vs. TickerShock
I have been using NetNewsWire since its first release. I am currently subscribed to 272 syndication feeds. There may be a causal relationship between these two statements. Seriously, NNW makes it possible and easy to subscribe to and read large numbers of feeds in a way that I haven't seen with any other newsreader on any platform. This is where a tool like TickerShock would fall down for me. I think it would probably take more than an hour (my default refresh) to get through all the headlines that I would want to read, in a speed that would allow me to read them. Plus context is important--if I read a headline, I may interpret it differently if it's from a blog than if it's in the New York Times.

Clearly this wouldn't work for you :). |
