RealTime for your Desktop

In an attempt to come back to your desktop, Real Network announced a new software called RealTime which allows user to view news and information directly to their desktops. The software consists of three parts; a toolbar for Internet Explorer, a News Reader and a Screensaver which displays headline  during inactivity. Currently, Real Time includes content from AP, Reuters, The Weather Channel, and AOL’s Engadget. More news feeds will be added in future betas. RealTime is powered by RSS to deliver content to your desktop. At present the product is still in its beta and the final product is expected to launch early next year.

I think this is nothing more than, just another RSS Reader, yet another crapware from Real Network… Let’s see what follows.
