NewsPiper has been released!

Get the latest news headlines on your desktop

(PRWEB) July 5, 2004 -- NewsPiper allows you to be always informed about the latest news. This program scans your favorites news sites (like cnn.com, foxnews.com, etc.) or RSS news feeds, retrieve news headlines and shows them in a special always-on-top bar (News Bar) placed at the top of your desktop. For each shown headline you can open "full story" page in your default web browser simply by clicking on the headline.
You can add new site for scanning (channel) just by indicating the URL, the template for headlines recognition and the code page of the site (for non-English news sites).

In addition NewsPiper checks your connection status by the schedule you setup (one time per minute, 5 times per hour, etc.) and changes the color of the icon in the system tray bar accordingly: green means your are online, red - offline.
