Editor's review of EasyDeskTicker

As far as newsreaders go, EasyDeskTicker is nothing special in terms of extras. However, it works well and its simple design will appeal to novice users.

At the start, a resizable, floating ticker bar appears on your desktop. A help menu isn't included, but adding/deleting feeds was a piece of cake. Clicking a headline immediately brings up a window that includes the headline's title, source, read, and article link. From that same window, you can navigate between headlines without skipping a beat.

There are a lot of customization features available with EasyDeskTicker, but we found many of them were more for kicks than substance. We would have liked to see an option to place the ticker on our taskbar or the option of hiding the ticker using a hot-key combo. While it won't blow newsreader veterans away, EasyDeskTicker is a good choice for those new to RSS feeds.
