EventBox

I want to like EventBox — a desktop client to collect all the streams of my life — but I can’t.


EventBox, originally uploaded by Stowe Boyd.

It does aggregate Twitter and Flickr (although I couldn’t get the Flickr login to work). Nice so far. But it won’t import my existing Google Reader RSS feeds or an OPML file.

Second, it’s too boxy and there is too much space between the posts so my screen real estate is wasted.

What I wish instead is that the folks at Snackr would take streams from Twitter, Flickr, Friendfeed, and so on, and instrument the client to allow particiaption in the stream a la EventBox.

About me

Social anthropologist, clairvoyant, postfuturist.

My work is social tools and their impact on media, business, and society.

I am made greater by the sum of my connections, and so are my connections.
