Finally: a Windows-based RSS reader that I enjoy using

I have two requirements in an RSS reader:

  1. display RSS feeds in a manner that is pleasing to the eye (reading loads of feeds is hard work, man);
  2. use the space bar to both scroll down or go to next unread if there is no more item to scroll.

Most Mac-based RSS readers seem to work this way, but I thought that I was out of luck at work in MS-land. A quick bit of googling turned up a program called GreatNews. It has six different display styles (I’m using “newspaper”), renders RSS quite nicely indeed, thankyooverymuch, and is freeware. Oh, and the space bar does what I want it too. I’m a happy RSS bunny again.
