DHTML Spotting: UseText

usetext.com offers a zooming UI for text with transclusive properties. Nifty implementation, but I find the zooming is distracting while reading and it's missing a strong affordances of the content underneath the current layer. I find the related homepage design much more compelling.

One more related work, another homepage design, is a nice start but could use some opacity tweaks and a bit less pixel count in the default mode.

This kicked off a little interaction design project over at MozWho (rss).  It was a long week, but a fruitful one.

Any pointers to a nice rss reader that will take care of subscription and network retrieval, writing .xml files to the drive?  DHTML, or more generally fluid interaction concepts, and RSS/Aggregation have not had their dance yet.
