Headline Viewer is a Windows application that lets you see news headlines from a configurable list of Headline Providers (news sources and weblogs). Instead of continuously jumping from site to site to check on headlines (and using a big fat browser window), you can let Headline Viewer do it for you:

Features...

812 predefined Headline Providers
Hierarchical Category List
Multiple views & fonts
Double-click to open story in browser
Automatic flipping between stories
Context Menus, Drag & Drop
Search Within Headlines

Use Headline Viewer as a browser accessory, and scan headlines at lightning speed. Double-click on any interesting headline to open the full story in your browser.

The program is fully skinnable and includes many user-settable preferences. Newest features: 2 new categories (Celebrities and Science). 256 new providers.

The built-in list now contains 768 entries; loading in all of the external lists now results in a collection of over 3100 providers. Dynamic updating of the provider list from a master list stored at the Headline Viewer web site.

Each time the product starts up, it loads the master list, adds any new providers, deletes any obsolete providers,and makes changes needed to keep existing providers up to date. The new list will be updated several times per week.

Automatic invocation of a language translator to translate content written in Spanish, French, German, Italian, or Portuguese in to English. Special drag-drop handling for RSS content from Echo Factor.

This site provides thousands of syndicated news feeds in 16 categories. Bug fixes and performance improvements.
