Ajax RSS News Reader

I've developed a ticker style RSS News reader that allows users to load BBC News feeds, without refreshing the current web page.

My browser based web application has been built using Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) and requires no additional plugin. RSS news feeds are downloaded, parsed and fed to the web page's DOM using built in JavaScript functions. It can be embedded as a widget on an existing web page or restyled to fill the browser window.

When I have the time, I would like to add an alternate-style-sheet menu to allow users to change the application's look-and-feel.

Looks like a dashboard widget in the making, that, with rounded corners of course, would make the perfet widget!
