BBC Alerts Ticker

This new program available in the BBC website is a must have for those who crave for the latest news headlines.

The feature I like most is the ticker. It does not take up much desktop space, and scrolls the latest news on top. You can take a quick glance from time to time to see if something new is up.

When you move the cursor over the ticker, the news headlines stop to move and when you click one headline a small window pops up giving a brief about the headline, if interested you can go ahead and open the link in your firefox and read the story fully.

This program sits in the system tray and when there is a newsflash a small window will pop-up and provide you with important information and link where you can read more about it.

Radio shows are also advertised through the alert system.
