Desktop Ticker is a computer application (or website) that displays a scrolling list of headlines, summaries, and links to news stories and other content from various sources. It is a convenient way to stay on top of current news and events from around the world. The content is typically organized and updated in real-time by a news aggregator. By default, the headlines are displayed in chronological order. However, users can customize their view by filtering the feed by topics, sources, keywords, and more. Some tickers also provide other features such as stock quotes, weather forecasts, sports scores, and more. The ticker can be displayed as a scrolling bar at the top or bottom of the screen or in a popup window. It can be a helpful tool for busy professionals, students, or anyone who wants to stay up-to-date on the latest news.
The last discontinued version, 0.41, was released on June 14, 2010. You can still download it from the official website.
