SlashDock is a simple Mac OS X dockling that fetches and updates headlines for the lastest postings on slashdot-compatible sites and RSS-compatible sites (aka RDF) like Kuro5hin.org.

Updates are obtained every 30 minutes, if new articles are available, the dock icon will flash with an image representing the article 'topic'. Selecting an article from the dockling menu will take you directly to that article in your preferred web browser.

SlashDock can also access eBay bid information & now Google Newsgroups!

What's New:
If you are upgrading from version 2.4 or earlier of SlashDock, you may have to reconfigure your Preferences, and *some* Site configurations:
The only affected configurations are for the "Google Groups" if you are using the "group:" syntax, please change to the appropriate Google Group xml feed (link shown at bottom of Google pages). The ATOM feed does not seem to work right now, but the RSS feeds do.
There are a lot of new capabilities, most importantly ATOM support and HTTPS support.
