Reading List Tour

You made it to number 4! This is a close up of a partial wURLdBook "Reading List". The "Reading List" is displayed along the left side of the page and contains your favorite dossiers with unread active content i.e. they contain an RSS feed in addition to web references and sub-dossiers (once again). Things you can put in your "Reading List" include dossiers with active content and dossiers with sub-dossiers that contain active content, essentially a group of active dossiers. This is handy to quickly see the active contents of groups like Yahoo New (as seen above) or something like that. I love it because you don't have to have a super long "Reading List" and you can monitor a lot of stuff.

To maintain an order in the "Reading List" you can also ascribe a relevance to a dossier so when new content arrives it will be displayed near the top of the list, high relevance (ten's as in the image) or lower in the list, low relevance. When multiple dossier are in a particular relevance group the dossiers with the newest unread content rise to the top. The numbers beside the dossiers indicate how many new unread items there are in a particular dossier (as if you didn't know).

In the above image the cursor is hovering over the various dossiers. The first dossier displays the first 10 unread item headlines in a preview so you can quickly scan the dossiers to see which one, if any, you want to read first. The second dossier, "Yahoo News", contains multiple sub-dossiers with active content. This preview shows which dossiers contain new content and how many new items too. The number beside the dossier is the total number of unread items in the group (yawn). If you wanted you could click on the dossier title in the preview and directly navigate to it (convenient, eh?).

One more thing, you can mark all the items in the "Reading List" read to clear it, hence the button: "mark read". Continue....
