Review
If you're looking for an RSS feed aggregator for news in Arabic, this free reader may fit the bill.
Akhbarakom offers a compact interface that doesn't take over your entire viewing window as some RSS readers do. Instead, it opens a small pane--slightly larger than a playing card--with five buttons at the top. These are followed by a list of preloaded news sources identified by icon or logo--such as BBC, CNN, and so forth--and their names in Arabic. Clicking a feed replaces the source list with a list of that sites headlines. Selecting a headline displays a blurb for that story, and clicking its link launches the source site in Internet Explorer (even though that isn't our default browser).
Akhbarakom responded very quickly in our tests. We really liked its compact interface, and we were pleased with how easy navigating among its levels proved to be, thanks to its intelligent use of icons. We also found it easy to add and delete feeds.
Simplicity of use, smart design, and excellent performance make it easy to recommend this tool for anyone seeking an Arabic news aggregator.
