I've been caught up with NewsHeap and haven't been reading a whole lot. Mark Pilgrim turns us onto [New news aggregator for Windows [dive into mark]](http: //diveintomark.org/archives/2003/01/17.html#new_news_aggregator_for_windows).

Fifteen minute impression is very nice indeed.

Feature request #1 would be linking to external links in the default browser rather than morphing the UI into a browser. One of the nice features on NetNewsWire is the ability to have a link show up behind the news reader while you continue to read items.
