I am looking for an RSS reader that I can run minimized in my notifications task bar and that will post a notification whenever there is an update to one of the feeds.

I just use Google Reader with either browser or Rainmeter plugins for this, but probably not exactly what you're after... – Shinrai – 2011-02-08T17:30:46.857

rssowl

The Notifier is a small popup that displays the headlines of incoming news even when RSSOwl is minimized. You can mark news entries as sticky from the Notifier to remember reading the full content of the entry at a later time.

rssowl is a resource hog. I'll have to take a look at this. Thanks (+1). – mwolfe02 – 2011-05-09T21:32:33.620
