From Lifehacker comes the news of this nifty mashup: Spreed News.
It's a tachistoscope that receives feeds from news sites and spits the articles at your eyeballs a few words at a time at a speed you choose.
I played around a bit and read a Newscrunch article at about 750 words per minute.
My thoughts: I like this as a training tool, but I won't be using it to replace Google Reader as my RSS feed reader - you can't skim, look at pictures, or quickly skip to the next article after the first few sentences.

Great Post! We really appreciate all the feedback and exposure we can get. A per your thoughts, Spreed:New is just a way for us to prove our concept. Spreed:Docs wll be launching in a week and will allow anyone to upload their own documents and parse the through the same Spreed reader. Imagine having to get a report done over the weekend or write an essay in one week, Spreed:Docs will be your best friend! Thank again
