Chirpscreen adds Twitter, Mac support
Social media tool Chirpscreen is out of beta, and has a few new tricks up its sleeve. When we first looked at Chirp in January, the application was a tool for grabbing images from your Flickr and Facebook accounts and showing them on your Windows desktop. Now Chirp has added support Twitter and eBay. A Mac client is also available.Chirpscreen comes in two parts: a desktop viewer called Chirpscreen and a screen saver. The screen saver is still Windows-only, but Chirpscreen Desktop runs on Macs and PCs.
When you first run Chirpscreen, you'll be presented with a slideshow of Flickr photos. But you can enter your login details for various social networks in order to see content from your contacts, including Facebook and Flickr images and Twitter messages. You can also enter keywords to see an assortment of images from public Flickr photostreams and from eBay.
Chirpscreen Desktop also lets you respond to Twitter messages or leave comments on Facebook images. It's also easy to share Flickr images via email or through Facebook.
