If you’ve ever wanted one of those bottom of the screen tickers featured on every cable and local news broadcast for your own desktop, you now can with Snackr. This Adobe AIR-based RSS reader scrolls your feeds across the bottom of your desk in endless torrent of information. This isn’t snacking on information – it’s full out feasting.
The ticker can be customized with any number of feeds and can be placed on any side of the desktop (top, bottom, left and right). While there is an option for keeping Snackr hovering over all open Windows, the feature doesn’t seem to work on my XP machine. Which is probably a good thing as changing my windows diverts my attention to more productive things (Twhirl not included). I’m not sure I can keep this running much longer as my head may explode with data. Google Reader kept open in a Firefox tab seems enough to fill my RSS-reading needs. But for those with the ability to multitask – Snackr and its cool interface are worth a peek.
