The Internet is a quickly changing place, with all the updates from friends and family on social media sites and RSS aggregator feeds thrown in. Most people spend a few hours a day looking at these sources individually or checking email for the latest stories, but now there’s a better way to combine all of this information together so you can get all of your updates at a glance on your desktop right away.

Retickr is a Mac OS X app that is designed to make receiving updates from Facebook, Twitter, email, and any RSS feeds you might follow a breeze. Instead of leaving tabs in your browser open, you can get the information delivered straight to your desktop in a beautifully crafted app that is a pleasure to use.

How It Works

Retickr works by streamlining all of your updates from social media, email, and RSS into a Wall Street stock ticker format. The interface is simple and easy to use and instead of having to check different tabs and updates as you go about your day, you get a constant stream of what’s going on in your social spheres and the rest of the world through your RSS feeds. If you happen to catch a piece of news you want to share with the rest of your network, you can simply click it to bring up a window and share with your various social networks.

Retickr is highly customizable in that you can choose the speed at which the ticker goes by, the accounts you sync, and whether or not you want to share to multiple accounts, or just your Facebook or Twitter account. This is great if you keep these circles separate but still receive several news updates relating to all of your social circles.

As you can see, ReTickr is the perfect place to get all of your news and updates in one place, and then share them with your friends and family. It’s also a great way to clean up your screen real estate and let you focus more on your work, instead of switching tabs to read news and see your friends and colleagues updates. If you use Facebook, Twitter, or read any number of RSS feeds in your daily routine, Retickr is the perfect complement to receiving these updates.
