What it does is that it is retrieving realtime data from both Flickr and Twitter to display those when the screensaver is active.

You obviously need a computer that is connected to the Internet to use this screensaver but it is very well worth it. The default setting for the screensaver pulls data from the public timelines of both Flickr and Twitter but you have the possibility to customize this further.

It is possible to watch a certain Twitter user only or watch yourself and your friends and family. You may choose to either view the works of a specific user or use tags for Flickr images.

The .net framwork 3.0 has to be installed on XP systems. To install the screensaver simply download the archive from the developers homepage and right-click the .scr file.
