Custom news to desktop or via daily digest email

Was just thinking whether there are means of getting customized news on a sector (eg telecom) or such as a summary email or as a widget on me desktop so that when something new is put on the net I come to know about it.

I know there are people who can do this when you subscribe to their services, was wondering whether I can do this free. Beats searching google news for the same and then having to surf.

I have a businessweek thingy on me desktop that tells me all tha BW is writing on telecom/IT if you are aware of anything else would be a great help.

thanks...

Google Personalized (sic) Homepage

Thanks JE, already doing that, was looking more on a desktop widgety type thingy...

On Vista you have a RSS feed thing.

If you have Firefox you can get an RSS add-in that will notify you of changes.

Try: RSS Ticker for Firefox

anything on the with IE or without Vista, I have XP

You can dowload some weird sidebar thingy for XP that is a bit Vista-ish, and has a built in RSS reader.

On my phone, I use something called AvantGo, which basically downloads a load of web pages (well, sports news) in the morning for me, for reading on the ubahn.

RSS feeds are built into IE7.

you be right thanks IW, will try out, DR will also look into what you said...
