Have you considered an RSS newsfeed? You can get something like
Thingamablog (which comes with a slew of preloaded newsfeeds) and add the
freeware newsfeeds.

I set Firefox to highlight the
freeware.

How do you do that > I tried highlighting and missed your touch! Is it
an extension I need?

No extension needed. In Firefox 0.10.1

click on edit -> find this page
A little "find" box opens at the bottom left.
Type in "freeware" and click "highlight".

In some previous editions of Firefox, "find" was at the top left.

Your news server may also carry freshmeat announcements:
freshmeat.announce.

I set Firefox to highlight the freeware.

Did you set FF to do it automatically when you go to that page?
If so, could you please teach it to me?
Thanks!

Interesting! I didn't know it.
The free news server news.individual.net carries it.

Thank you Mark!

Ignore my question, I've found your answer to Barney
(I cancelled my message but it seems still there)

A little tip: to make a search for text, instead of Ctrl+F or Edit+Find, you
can simply type a slash /, then the search bar hides automatically after few
seconds. To make a search only for links, the shortcut is the single quote
'.

 

[Mark Carter]

The free news server news.individual.net carries it.

As I recall, the group may not be the same for all servers; it probably
isn't standard usenet or something. I vaguely recall that on my Plusnet
account it was called gnus.freshmeat.announce, or something. For those
with Thunderbird, they can always select the speed menu item Subscribe,
and search for the group freshmeat.

The group has a high volume, so you may want to filter it down by
setting up a user account and using the filtering capabilities.
