3D RSS Feed Reader For Windows Vista
Reader Richard Hensler just drew my attention to UniveRSS, a 3D RSS feed reader for Windows Vista. My first reaction was, “So what?” But my second reaction was, “Perfect! I need this right away.” Why? Because the size and position of the icons representing each feed in the UniveRSS window is determined by the number of unread items each contains. I don’t know about you, but I have so many feeds in my reader that they’re almost impossible to navigate. A 3D representation of them, sorted in this way, would make them much more useful. My third reaction was, “Why not let us arrange them by relevance, or in some other manner?” But we can do that ourselves, since not only can you download the application, but you can even download the source code itself. Now all I need is Vista, heh.
Feeds
Yep. This is the flip side of that Dassault post of mine (I intentionally kept the Vista portions out of it; too much promotional stuff in that press release). Vista, however, is finally pushing the OS toward 3D integration.
