Spectra Visual Newsreader

Spectra Visual Newsreader (provided by Doris Yee)

If you think reading news online is a boring affair, then wait until you use Spectra from MSNBC.

Spectra is a visual newsreader that takes over your web browser with a full spectrum of colors. The site is constantly fed live news just like an RSS reader, any breaking news is brought to you effortlessly.

Since it’s so beautiful to look at and use, I’d recommend opening Spectra up on a large screen and then leaving it be to update on its own. There are different options to choose in terms of displaying the news feeds, so poke around and experience it for yourself!
