Life-streaming made easy.
I’ve been using Skimmer for a few days now, and I can report that it’s a pretty nifty little piece of Adobe AIR-powered software. I’ll admit that I was a little skeptical at first. After all, could an ad agency (Fallon) make a decent piece of software? (Sierra-Bravo, a Minneapolis-based technology firm, helped Fallon build Skimmer.)
Skimmer presents feeds from Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, YouTube, and Flickr in a clean, simple format. In addition, it would be great if Skimmer supported more social media feeds, and I would definitely like the ability to see threaded comments on facebook updates, for example.
Normal, widget, and full-screen modes.
While the interface is a little non-traditional, once I got used to it I found it very orderly and responsive, thanks to its Flash underpinnings. One nice feature is its ability to operate as a small window, a widget-sized window, or full-screen.
