I doubt it will take long for somebody to marry the ‘eye candy’ of Times with the functionality required by heavy RSS consumers.

I agree with the others–it sure is purdy.

However, I think the dark gray text on a light gray background would be irritating to the eyes, diminishing its usability.

Hmm I guess I will stick to NewsFire after reading this. It sure looks slick, but functionality is equally important I think.

I was very excited to check this out, but disappointed when I actually did. Sure, the eye candy is great, but Times lost me when it failed to read a group of feeds that I rely on.

I agree that Times isn’t for the heavy RSS user. But it’s so gorgeous, especially on a 24″ iMac. Thinking of using it as a secondary reader for stuff I really want to keep track of.
