Ambient News Brings RSS to You, No Subscription Required
Ambient News, brings RSS feeds into your browser without requiring you to click on a single subscription link or visit a special website. You don’t even have to know or care what RSS is for it to be useful. Ambient News, which is written by Mozilla developer Atul Varma and currently available as an alpha release, tracks your browsing habits and learns which sites you visit most frequently. The add-on then pulls headlines from those sites and displays them for you — in a vertical list that gently fades in — every time you open a blank tab.
Interesting way to overcome the usability and learning curve of RSS. Might recommend it to some people who love news, but don’t know what RSS is.
