This item was filled under [ desktop apps ]

EventBox is an application for Mac OS X that seamlessly integrates many social websites, including Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Reddit and RSS.

Features:

  • Displaying of Emoji
  • Twitter favorites
  • Twitter search
  • Twitter profile peek
  • Ability to open links in events using a keyboard shortcut (Cmd-Right Arrow)
  • Ability to send crash reports
  • Ability to expand shortened URLs. Right-click on an Event and select Expand URLs

The Good:

The ability to access several core social media applications in one spot is great. The UI for EventBox is very good. Photo viewing is sublime. For twitter, users can @reply, favorite and retweet. Avatars are visible too.
