MSN Screen Saver Beta

Sarah Perez on September 26th, 2005

MsnscreensaverFrom the Sandbox, MSN’s equivalent to Google Labs, comes the MSN Screen Saver (beta).  Most techies are just over screen savers, with their CPU-sucking capabilities and potential for causing problems. I agree to a point. I wouldn’t recommend downloading a screen saver, especially one in beta, on an office computer; but if you’re looking to jazz up your home PC and have a little fun, this MSN screen saver is pretty nifty. You can personalize it with background photos from the folder of your choosing, and view news and weather information from MSN. However, what really makes it stand out is the ability to add any RSS feeds from websites of your choice to the list of content it displays. And if you’ve picked sides (meaning you’re on the Microsoft team, instead of the Google team…or the Yahoo team), you’ll also enjoy the Messenger, Hotmail, and Spaces integration.

  1. Ugh, M$

  2. Tampa Bay and blogging

    From FLABLOG:
    For reasons that are beyond me, Tampa Bay is the blogging capital of the Sunshine State. Not more populous Miami-Dade, not the studentville of Gainesville, not that center of political wonkery, Tallahassee, and not Orlando where there…

  3. I don’t want RSS any place other than my feed reader. I don’t see the point of it. It could just be me, though.
