There are hundreds of news feed aggregator widgets out there. One of the best is the Google-based “gdRSS Reader” by Oreware. Why? Because it is chock full of features- and simple at the same time. That is a very desirable combination.
This aggregator aggregates news with cool features like sound notification, customized alerts, customized color highlighting, password protection, customized categories, search for RSS services, and, believe it or not, more. If you are a Google gadgeteer, this one is highly recommended.
NOTE: This gadget downloads as a 30-day trial and after that requires activation for $20.00.

Pros: Lots of features; very simple to configure; good technical support.
Cons: Not free; registration of the product can be kludgy.
