Anothr: RSS aggregator for Skype

Anothr is a neat idea, although I'm not sure how useful most people will find it. It's a bot that you add to your Skype contacts and then send the RSS feeds you read. When one of your subscriptions updates, the bot send you a message with the feed content. I've used a number of similar bots over the years with AIM, ICQ, and, way back when, IRC, but this is the first one I've seen for Skype. My gut reaction is that it's because most people don't use Skype as a nerve center the way many of us use IMs of one sort or another, at least not yet. For those of you are ahead of the curve, though, and Skyping your lives, Anothr is worth a look.
