News headlines and summaries are displayed chronologically in a visually intuitive user interface, with features for easy browsing, searching and sorting. NewsWatcher is free. www.newswatcher.com

You can "subscribe" to any or all of the following feeds:

I did a search on "SPAM" and got 6 hits

U.S. Regulators to Weigh Anti-Spam Tactics from Yahoo News

NewsWatcher also monitors non-technical subjects. Martha Stewart was a big item in the news while I was writing this review, so I did a search on "Martha" and got 5 hits; 4 from Yahoo News and 1 from Christian Science Monitor. As you can tell from the image, you can put the mouse on an item, and a summary of that item appears.

The bombing in Madrid was also a top item in the news while I was writing this review, so I did a search on "Madrid" and got 8 hits; 7 from Yahoo News and one from Christian Science Monitor.
