Sorry, one more sidenote. On Feedreader, it has a simple pop-up box that makes a noise when new news comes in.
So when a headline comes in then I hear the warning sound and quickly turn my head to view the headline.
Newsgator has a gimmicky interface with a streaming tickerlike headline, but its too confusing. I just want to hear a warning tone, read quickly and then move onto something else.
I tried both Newsgator and Mozillas Thunderbird, but I found that they didnt update as fast as Feedreader and were too gimicky.
