KlipFolio - weather, news, and RSS feeds on your desktop
review from ClifNotes, Jun 2006, Permalink
I've seen this desktop tool a few times, and I decided to try it. The download was just under 1 megabyte. I ran the installer and after reading the EULA in EulaYzer, I found that it's clean, but they do reserve the right to disclose personal information to third parties. The only personal info they can get is your IP address, and what feeds you are subscribing to. That's no big deal, so I went ahead and installed it.
To tell you the truth, I'm impressed. It's a very cool program. If you want tons of information displayed right on your desktop, this is a great way to do it. It's very customizable, so you can set colors, styles, sizes, alarms, and other stuff.
Here are a few of the hundreds of clips you can display with KlipFolio
