fRiSS is a native RSS reader for Zeta, and it can run both in window
and replicant mode:

By right-clicking the mouse in the application, a menu will appear.
From this menu you can toggle between the feeds by choosing Next
Feed, Previous Feed and Select Feed. Choosing Refresh
will reload the feed, and if there are changes, they will be
shown.
From the Preferences window you can Add, Edit
and Remove feeds. By default there are four news site feeds:
BeBits, IsComputerOn,
TheBeOSJournal and OSNews.

You can also set the background color in the feed. When you run
fRiSS as a replicant you would like it to have the same color as
the desktop. The default blue color of the desktop in Zeta is
R: 51, G: 102 and B: 152.
Once you create a replicant, it becomes independant and stores
its own settings.

If you don't have broadband connection you might want to change
the default Refresh interval which is set to be 5 minutes.
You would then have a limited bandwidth, and a longer interval might
be a better solution.

The developer of the application has added a "hidden feature"
in the Twitcher, from the
screenshots you can see how the application's icon changes when
choosing it.
