CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This Flash-powered newsreader lets you view RSS feeds relating to John Kerry's presidential run but mostly serves to demonstrate the developer's technology. The red, white, and blue interface offers a countdown till election day, several tabs for navigation, and category and feed listings that open your default Web browser. You can choose from several categories relating to major campaign topics, political humor, and Yahoo Groups about Kerry. The tabs let you quickly go to the contribution site, volunteer, and locate places to meet other supporters in your area. We found the newsreader technology smooth and great for focused, tailored subjects such as this one. However, because the reader has such a narrow focus, you can't add your own feeds or change the existing list. The company is very clear that it does not endorse John Kerry and that the newsreader merely demonstrates its technology. Overall, we found the app to be good at what it does (especially if you're a Kerry supporter), but as a newsreader, you can find something else with more options and features.Publisher's description
From Smart Stream Alliance :John Kerry for President NewsReader is the best way to keep up on the most recent information on the Democratic contender for President. The reader is a Macromedia Flash application that sits in your icon tray and can be zoomed to full screen for easy reading. Whenever there's new information from the Kerry blog, the icon will flash in your icon tray. The reader contains about 40 up-to-the-minute feeds from various authors. We will be adding feeds as the campaign progresses. The reader is feature-rich and includes information you cannot find in any other newsreader. Some of the features include an election countdown clock, the time and date, and worldwide weather. On or about July 29, the reader will morph with new graphics and feeds as the Democratic Central Committee takes the reigns of the campaign and a vice-presidential nominee has been chosen.

Version: John Kerry for President NewsReader 1.0.2.5
Summary: A newsreader like this is so much easier to use than surfing to my favorite weblogs, campaign sites, Yahoo groups, and newswires. I'm saving 20-30 minutes a day. I like the countdown to election day too.

Version: John Kerry for President NewsReader 1.0.2.5
"Really Cool and really different"
Summary: I must confess that I am fairly new to all this RSS stuff. It took me a minute to figure out that I can't add any feeds. The interface is very very cool, colorful. Being the democrat I am this will stay in my icon tray so I can see what's happening ... read more >>
