OmniViewer is something I've been looking for for a long time. It does (almost) everything on our wish list for a news ticker. I downloaded it last night and currently have a desktop ticker showing me headlines from Cdn Corp News, Yahoo, and Newswire.

It polls URLs, let's you specify where interesting information (i.e., headlines) begin, how to select them, and when to recognize the end of interesting content. The headlines are sent to the scrolling ticker and you can select them to see the full content in a lightweight internal browser. It handles authentification and even form-entry logins.

This program could have many applications for retrieving and consolidating information off the Web. For example, I suppose one could configure it to run a ticker of new messages appearing on an SI thread, then click on the ones that interest you to see the full content.

Web pages are accessed via profiles. These can contain complex scripting to more accurately pull out the right pieces of Web pages. We can setup a repository of profiles for Canadian sites if there is enough interest.

Cheers. --Allan
