I've finally gotten around to updating RSS Ticker. Among other things like new locales and code optimization, this version includes a rewrite of the options dialog and its related code, so any reported bugs related to the Options dialog should be fixed now. This includes the known incompatibility with the All-in-One Sidebar extension.

You can download the latest version of RSS Ticker 1.9 from the RSS Ticker homepage.

On a related note: I originally wrote RSS Ticker so that I could use Firefox's Live Bookmarks to manage my feeds but still have an easy way to see new items from a small number of feeds. Since then, the number of feeds I follow has grown, and the ticker interface has become too restrictive for me. If this sounds like you, you might want to check out my new extension called Feedbar. It uses your Live Bookmarks for feed management like RSS Ticker, but it displays the new items in a sidebar, so it's easier to scan through a large number of feeds.

It's been a week since I first brought up the problem with certain Digg Search RSS feeds being broken. I reported the bug through Digg's "Report a Website bug" form, and I mentioned it here as well. Has a week been enough time to fix what is most likely a simple programming error?

No. Initially, I had assumed that the feeds would be fixed within a few days, and I'd be able to do a nice little "I reported a bug and Digg fixed it in x hours/days" post, but now it's turning into "How long can it possibly take?" Has anyone else ever reported a bug to Digg? How long did it take to get fixed? I'd hate to think that they're not fixing the bug on purpose just because it was reported by someone they don't care for.

About a year ago, I wrote my first RSS-related Firefox extension, RSS Ticker. It was intended to be used for getting instant notifications from a small number of feeds. As the number of feeds I follow has grown, I've found the ticker interface inadequate and frustrating, so I've been working on a new RSS extension for Firefox over the past couple of weeks.

I'm calling it "Feedbar," and it's a sidebar for Firefox that aggregates all of the unread items from your Live Bookmarks in one place.

It's not trying to be yet another standalone RSS reader that just uses Firefox as a platform (like Sage, infoRSS, or Wizz RSS). It doesn't have its own feed manager - it just uses the feeds you've already bookmarked and shows you the items from those feeds that you haven't visited. It's intended to be simple, easy to use, and something that could be included by default in Firefox without seeming out of place. As far as I know, there's not another extension already doing this.

You can download Feedbar 1.0 alpha 1 at the Feedbar homepage. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
