NetNewsWire Lite is one of a number of news collection programs that present news headlines from various sites (including this one) on your desktop. The interface uses a three-pane interface (site, headline, details) that makes it easy to decide which articles you wish to read.

You can also easily add additional sites to the program's selection if you know the news feed URL. If you spend a lot of time browsing the web for news and haven't tried a desktop headline grabber yet, NetNewsWire Lite is a good one to start with ... you'll be amazed at how much time you save by only reading what you want to read.
