TUCOWS Pick of the Week

Yahoo! and Net Controls have partnered to bring you the My Yahoo! News Ticker, a direct feed of the latest headline news, stock quotes, sports scores, and weather reports for almost any machine connected to the Internet.
Now Available for Macintosh, OS/2, and Unix!

This Java applet shows you how it works:

This demo is using sample (but current) data. The real NewsTicker allows you to synchronize the data shown with your MyYahoo news page. The "arrow" button changes channels. Double-click any story, stock, or weather report to see the full text. Drag the ticker to change direction.

IT RESIDES directly on your Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 task bar, or runs as a top-level window or "glued" to your Windows desktop. It even automatically runs inside your favorite Windows screen saver!
IT DELIVERS to your desktop the latest news headlines, stock quotes, sports scores, and weather reports
IT USES the preferences you've established in your My Yahoo! account to do this
