Inspired by Google's FastFlip. How do you feel about scanning your rss feeds in this presentation layer ?

Very neat seeing the webkit2png tool in action. This is something I may find useful, nice project!

Scanning rss feeds in this type of format is sometimes preferable to the list inlay style that Google reader uses. It's also more enjoyable to discover things this way as well. I would only really want to scan topics I'm highly interested in this type of presentation layer rather than all the topics in my feed reader. This format definitely works best for that.
