This is hot, check out the MSN Screensaver Beta, cool screen saver, does RSS, weather even search. The UI is simple, clean and kind of sexy. I grabbed a screenshot, I can even keep up with Scoble on it. :-)
I never thought about integrating messenger buddy status and search into a screensaver.
Feature Request: Allow me to publish photos from an MSN Spaces blog, that way I can install it on my mom and dad's computer to share photos.
Update:I should have looked closer, there is an MSN Spaces option in the screensaver settings, I was able to add Beth's blog and just choose the pictures. Sweet! I now have an easier way to send photos to my folks.. Awesome
Update2: Turns out this requires the MSN Desktop Search product to work, which is cool by me. In fact I like how I can get all of my options for MSN in one place. (The desktop search options are located along with the other toolbar options)
