  • Efficient headline browsing, keyword alerts
  • KlipFolio Feed Viewer can announce new and expire old news

  • KlipFolio Feed Viewer provides no way to work on individual items

Guide Review - KlipFolio Feed Viewer 4.0 - Free RSS News Feed Reader

If you're familiar and love KlipFolio's efficient way of displaying news headlines (and, of course, other notoriously volatile data), you'll love the Feed Viewer Klip. With KlipFolio Feed Viewer, you can not only view ready-made Klips, but any RSS or Atom feed in KlipFolio. Each feed can have its own update schedule and KlipFolio expires old headlines automatically. You can see all the headlines, of course, but Feed Viewer shows you the descriptions as pop-ups, too. While notifications for specific keywords are nice, there's no other way to filter or search headlines in KlipFolio Feed Viewer. Naturally, KlipFolio isn't good at archiving or generally letting you use news items either.
