Guide Review - NewzSpider 1.0 - RSS News Feed Reader
With more and more news from more and more sources (about more and more irrelevant topics), time becomes a crucial factor. You need the time to find and read the important stories accurately, and as little time as possible should be spent on the medium, the interface.
In NewzSpider, the interface is a simple, but very efficient experience. Using keyboard shortcuts, you can skim headlines, read descriptions and head to web sites for full stories. It's a pity NewzSpider doesn't really offer folders to collect feeds, though. You can organize your subscriptions, but NewzSpider doesn't aggregate all of a category's headlines, and you can't nest or collapse folders.
For a speedy news experience, a search feature, virtual folders and the ability to flag individual items would be great, too. NewzSpider also knows only one update interval for all feeds, something that won't make publishers happy. But when it comes to browsing and then reading news, NewzSpider is simple, fast and efficient.
