Following everything must be great. The all-seeing eye, yeah! Never miss anything worthwhile. Be the first to know. I’m signing for it.
Such a beautiful utopia, but oh so dangerous to strive for. Though there are plenty of tools that will help you getting you there. Turn on a sound effect every time you receive an email or tweet. Wear your head set all the time. And…, install an Adobe Air app which keeps you up to date about all the latest articles in your feed selection.
Snackr is such a service. After installing it on the Adobe Air platform, importing your OPML file, and placing it in the preferred corner – your RSS feeds are always available. Right there, in the corner of your eye.
I’m running the RSS reader while I’m typing this post, and man, it drives me crazy! It keeps asking for my attention. Like a TV screen in a bar. The design, features, and usability: it’s all very well-executed. – but using the nifty little program will mean the end of productivity for me.
But hey, maybe you’re the kind of guy/ gal who needs a little bit of distraction. If that’s the case, don’t hesitate and click here.
















I’m not going to try it, looking at the screenshot it will drive me crazy as well ;)
Does it sync with Google Reader? If yes, I’m signed. Screw productivity.
Oh, thanks! Or should I say, thanks for destroying any chance of me ever finishing my thesis? ;)
@ Richard
This version does sync with Google Reader.

Goodluck,
You’re welcome, and it’s free of charge :-)
btw, it would be even more fun (or productivity screwing) if there would be an integration with TweetDeck…
su66 with your thesis!
I must not install… I must not install…
It’s new because Snackr isn’t limited to any OS. OS X, Vista, Linux all run Adobe Air. How cool is that?
Isn’t this the exact same thing Google and Microsoft have been offering for years now? Google Desktop/ Windows Vista sidebar)
Nothing new it seems…
