March 24, 2009

NEW YORK Fallon is readying the release of a tool that will allow users of social media sites to gather disparate network streams into a desktop widget.

Called Skimmer, the free application is designed as a time-saver for those constantly switching among services. Instead, users download the application and register their accounts. The widget then shows the streams of friend updates in a single interface. It will aggregate posts from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Blogger and YouTube.
