Caffeinated 1.3 for Mac adds custom services bar, Notification Center integration (hands-on)

As more and more people get their news through social outlets, RSS feeds are starting to feel like a somewhat antiquated tool — constant sharing over Twitter and Facebook and visually appealing options like Flipboard means that the average person is rarely hurting for reading material to add to their Instapaper or Pocket queue.
