KlipFolio is a FREE desktop application that works as an RSS/Atom feed reader and much more.
It comes with a set of stock clips that does things like monitor googleNews for breaking stories, monitor C/net downLoads for new download offerings, monitor the weather anywhere, and so on.
The Klips and Folio can be configured and/or customized many ways, including with skins to change it's appearance. Most of KlipFolio works right out of the box, but it shines best when tweaked and customized. It's interface is pretty intuitive.
Serence hosts another site they call their KlipFarm where the offer other FREE Klips that expands the functions of the Folio.
The latest addition I've added and tried is their Quibble Klip. It's a too cool notePad type gizmo that lets you link notes to webSites and stuff.
