RSS notification in System tray [closed]

RSS notification in System tray [closed] I am looking for a tiny windows app that will sit in my system tray and check certain RSS feeds periodically, upon new RSS update the items should be displayed as pop-up (or balloons).

"Here's a list I made, when I checked out different notifiers for my private rss feed:

Sharpreader: Download 1MB, In memory 42MB (popup tested & works)
Feed notifier: Download 7MB, In memory 35MB. (popup tested & works)
Google Reader Notifier: Download 1MB, In memory 24MB. (does not support private rss feeds)
Fuzzyduck: Download 4MB, In memory 14MB (does not support private rss feeds)
Abilon: Download 1MB, In memory 13MB
Klipfolio: Download 2MB, In memory 7MB (does not support private rss feeds, popup tested & works)
Rssnotifier seems to be dead.
Enigma Desktop seems a bit overkill.

Please give updates to this list in the comments"

"Google Reader Notifier as a firefox plugin

I know it is not a windows app but it is the smallest... RSSOwl can be a good option but full feature tool."

You could give Klipfolio a try.

Part of the Engima Desktop is an RSS reader overlay on your desktop. This way you can have a persistent view of your feeds, even if you miss the balloon pop-up.
