Title: Rssvoyage
Post by: Tuomas on Mon 12/11/2007 22:41:37
A Finnish tv show presents a selection of websites once a week that they find of interest, useful or just funny. This week they came out with http://rssvoyage.com among others.

The page looked pretty cool to me, at least something completely new. Just wait for the screen to load and press start. It presents news and headlines in an orginal way. I know it's really not that new technology, and runs a bit slow for me, but it might be a worth taking a look at, if not for the design, but for the rather rich quantity of headlines listed and linked, or as far as I know, you can even affect on what's listed. Oh i could tell you, but I just want you to go and have a look for yourselves :D

News headlines don't need presenting in such a fancy format, if you ask me. I want to be able to quickly scan the headlines.
This site would be far too slow for me to use daily. Using effects because they are cool, is a no-no in my book, cool effects should be only used if they add something.

Well, the page just reloaded, reloaded and reloaded continuously when I clicked the link in Opera, so obviously I'll skip this disregard the fact that it may actually be something cool and contains explosions.

It is useless, if you ask me. Jimmy said it already. RSS is to be simple and fast, not like this.

It is, indeed, slow and useful for bugger all. It looks nice, but adds nothing.
