[...]By ticker application, i mean a ticker application[...] lulz, fo course you do, I remember there was a Feed Indicator though i don't know if it still works with 11.10. You could also be using a Widget to show the feeds or set up Conky too. – Uri Herrera Feb 15 '12 at 16:34

You can use snackr (open source). But you'll have to install Adobe Air though. Screenshot of Snackr

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! As of right now, Adobe Air for Linux is discontinued. Also, to make your answer even better, you can upload a screenshot of snackr. For more on that, please read this - meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/75491/… – jrg♦ Feb 17 '12 at 13:26
Just did that. I guess I didn't have the privilege initially. Thanks for the welcome. – keheliya Feb 18 '12 at 5:42
Continued development of Adobe Air is discontinued, but version 2.6 works with Linux and is still available link. – James Feb 18 '12 at 7:18
