Created a simple RSS Reader (News Client) for Groove. Loosely based on the original NewsClient Tool which Hugh Pyle once wrote. The one I wrote is using the .NET framework though (thank you SB)!.

There was some critisism on the original NewClient tool because due to the nature of a news aggregator (lots of new posts) a Groove space got flagged 'unread' all the time. Luckily with Groove v3 beta you can now switch of 'unread' notification 'per tool'.
