Colour your updates

Newzie has a fascinating and well implemented colour system that denotes the last update time/date of a feed. The colouring is a bit bold for my tastes but the idea is sound and I found it worked well.

Newzie itself is one of the better desktop aggregators out there.

I kicked Bloglines about two months ago and have been using GreatNews since. It works pretty well and met two of my requirements, portability (it runs off my thumb drive) and has the report or newspaper view I prefer. Now I am intrigued by Newzie, which is certainly a great looking application. I think I'll try it for a while and see how it suits me. I already have one minor but majorly frustrating issue with it, the report window doesn't scroll with my mouse wheel.

GreatNews is a good one too but I must say that Newzie has the edge in UI. As you point out though it is very much in beta. It crashes on me regulalry too.

I will try playing with Newzie over the weekend as I like the look of the interface. But I'm still using GreatNews as my "production" aggregator today. Newzie will probably be an acquired taste.
