Bring Productivity to a Crawl With Skimmer

Skimmer App Preview

Fallon, a Minnesota based design firm released their Social Media AIR application, Skimmer. This lightweight-app allows you to view, post and search through your Twitter , Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and Blogger content and feeds. Using Adobe AIR, the installation is easy and takes only a few moments. The application itself is elegant and aesthetically minimal. It’s ability to organize and fine-tune content makes it a very easy to view copious amounts of content from your social media services. Fallon’s focus on design is evident in the application’s construction and user interface. It’s easy to spend hours (…and days…) behind Skimmer’s screens.

Skimmer can be downloaded at http://www.fallon.com/skimmer and can run on any windows or mac running AIR.

    Chris,
    Any concerns about privacy using Skimmer or other apps like this? I mean, this company will now have access to four or more of your passwords right? Any suggestions for staying “safe”?

    This is true-using any third-party app like this (tweetDeck, Twirl, FriendFeed. etc), you are allowing someone to manage and transfer your credentials. Good point.

    A local application like this one uses and stores your credentials locally. The risk is minimal provided that you use unique passwords for your services.
