NPR Desktop Alerts keeps you updated on all your favorite NPR content as well as your own favorite RSS feeds. You have to download it and then you can customize how you want to be alerted. You have the option of receiving alerts through a pop-up, a ticker that runs across your computer screen, or both. You can add your own RSS feeds by entering in the feed URL or by simply dragging a feed icon from any webpage onto the alerts application. NPR Desktop Alerts includes a feed reader loaded with 19 popular NPR feeds and you can listen to an hourly summary newscast right from the ticker. Here’s my screencast tour of NPR Desktop Alerts:
