Google’s Fast Flip. Fast Flip is a new fun way to read online news because it relies more upon the visual element. Think of it as like flipping through a series of magazines looking at just the covers. If something looks interesting you can dig deeper, if not you can move on to the next set. 
You don’t need to be logged in anywhere have anything downloaded to start using it. If you want to view more than the default articles though you will want to login to a gmail account.
Google Reader. You will need a gmail account for this to work for you also. Unlike Fast Flip Google reader relies more upon text rather than images (varies with feed). This way you can get a better idea of what is worth reading.
