When you think on a feed reader you assume that it will show the articles in a chronological ordered list, because we are used to see the information in 2 dimensions, but, what happens when we add a third dimension?.
That's what they did with Voyage a feed reader made in Flash. This is the type of application perfect for Flash, maybe you can do something similar with Java but I don't know if it would be as light in resources as this one.
You get the latest articles at the front and moving the mouse up or down the titles move, scrolling moves you in the third axis which is the time line. To read an article you only click on it and the content will show while the rest of the titles fade.
You can add your favorite feeds and use it as your feed reader, there is no need to create an account because the app stores your preferences in cookies. Or you can just play with it as something new and cool, because it lacks some features that at least I like to have (mark/tag articles, search, folders, etc..) that some other readers include (web or desktop apps).
