The screen saver rotates through favorite headlines along with their accompanying photos or images. With one click, the user can read the story about a baseball pitcher, stock updates, information about the war in Iraq, a new salad recipe or the latest handheld device.

Real is teaming with the Associated Press, Reuters, Interactive Data, SmartMoney, Feedster and The Weather Channel Interactive to ensure RealTime users get the most current information available. RealTime provides editorial recommendations based on all of this data and allows users to personalize the product either from the RealTime Web site or as the consumer surfs the Web. When a user visits a favorite Web site, such as ESPN.com or Parenting.com, that person instantly sees whether that site has a feed. With a click of the mouse, the feed is added and the user can resume their work or playtime on the computer.
