LibraryThing Mac Screensaver

At the end of our Week of Code, Chris and I put together the RSS feed and directions you need to turn the built-in Mac OS X screensaver into a LibraryThing Screen Saver.

To do it you’ll need to grab the following URL: http://www.librarything.com/labs-screensaver.php?userid=timspalding and change “timspalding” to your user name (public users only, of course). Then watch the video.

Update: Does anyone know of an easy way to make a Windows one?

    I followed the directions but it didn't work for me 🙁 the screensaver area just says "your selected subscriptions have no pictures…"

    update: Since lastnight I restarted my computer and now the screensaver is working just fine. Yay!
