I prefer the "river" style layouts as well.
Two examples for financial news that are quite usable:
http://www.marketwatch.com/newsviewer http://www.marketwatch.com/newsviewer
http://cmwire.com/ http://cmwire.com/
For the MarketWatch site, link is just to their own in-house write-up, but you have the option to mouse over and bring up stock charts, etc. On CMWire, lag in updates is every three minutes or so, making it very timely.
Mobile-wise, HN News remains my go-to reading experience ;)
- scholia 9y agoThere's also Dave Winer's "river of news" site with various tabs including Tech, NBA and Movies http://radio3.io/rivers/ http://radio3.io/rivers/ Protopage is somewhat similar to Readspike and you can add your RSS feeds of choice.... http://www.protopage.com/ http://www.protopage.com/
- libertyEQ 9y agoSince you mentioned MarketWatch and river of news, I think these folks do a good job: http://seekingalpha.com/market-news/all http://seekingalpha.com/market-news/all However, it does seem unnecessarily javascript-heavy when we are talking text, and it aggressively auto-reloads (sometimes when I'm in the midst of reading!). There seems to be a usability mismatch among people that use 1 browser with one tab open vs. people that utilize multiple browsers and/or multiple tabs. edit: I, personally, use multiple browsers, some with multiple windows, and some of those windows with 5-60 tabs (i.e. HN). Graceful degradation used to be a concept highly regarded among developers that addressed these usage scenarios, but now we cater to the lowest common denominator only.
