Thanks KlipFolio

I spent almost an hour yesterday looking for an RSS reader that suits my taste, considering functionality, user-friendliness, flexibility, and of course, aesthetics.

And this is what I found: KlipFolio!

A new (for me) personal dashboard or sidebar that allows you to monitor anything from your RSS feeds to Flickr Photos, even a live cam on the Eiffel Tower! This multitasking desktop buddy even notifies you of your CPU usage, of the date and time, even everytime your Gmail gets new email.

I am still in the early stages of reviewing this free software, and I am already impressed. I’ll give you a few of my favorites, which your eager hands would immediately experience during the first 15 minutes after downloading KlipFolio.

First is the Klips, as they call it, which are little components for each data that you want monitored (examples are Klips for the pictures on your hard drive, weekly top ten movies from IMDb, most discussed videos in YouTube). These cute little things are resizable and movable, so they don’t get in your way when you have a task. The whole dashboard is also skinnable (meaning, you can change the skins), and also allows for liquid layouts, letting you easily customize the way you view your KlipFolio.

Probably the best feature of this tool is the very convenient way with which you can manage your Klips, skins, and other KlipFolio components. At the KlipFolio website download screens, one simple click on the Add Klip button beside the Klip that you want quickly updates your KlipFolio. Downloading a new skin is even easier. At the Skins page, one click on a new skin immediately downloads it and applies it to your KlipFolio. Very hassle-free.

I’m currently trying on more Klips. With 4,000 Klips to choose from, and still increasing, I can see no end yet to my experimentations.

Here is how mine looks like so far:

And I mentioned free, right?
