Snackr - A Unique RSS Reader
Mon, 2008-05-12 19:25 — mikepotter
NJ, who works at Adobe, has created a new AIR application for reading RSS feeds called Snackr. Snackr is not really an RSS reader - its an "RSS Ticker", and puts your RSS feed items in a ticker display at the bottom or side of your monitor.
I've only been running it for a few hours this morning, but I'm already finding it useful. Its a bit distracting to have it running all the time, but its a lot easier to see if there are new items that you might be interested in. And reading the blog entries is super quick - which I love.
Give it a shot and see what you think. Its built with Flex 3 and runs on Adobe AIR.

Cool app, only wish it could
Cool app, only wish it could scroll across the bottom of all 4 monitors, then that would be real cool :)
