DIGG, Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter are my daily visits. However, have you even imagine having all of the benefits of these sites nicely packaged in your Mac Desktop?
EventBox!
This is the solution, EventBox packs all of those online services into a sleek and simple box and - as the name suggests - the box is called event box.
Sneak Peak of EventBox
No matter how useful an application is, users will first value an application by seeing its GUI. Without hesitation, I can say that EventBox has the most sleek and appealing light GUI I've ever encountered.
Digg the Story
The first service is the interfacing to Digg. With EventBox, you can easily personalize your page - by hiding certain sections that you don't like - and read through all Digg stories as easy as reading your RSS.
RSS, Burn the Feed
Talking about RSS, EventBox also connects you to the world of RSS. With RSS being merged into EventBox, you can adjust the length of RSS Preview and make it noticable when new RSS Feed coming, either by bouncing the icon on the Dock, by triggering Growl notification or by echoing customizable sound.
Tweet with Twitterific
Not only for RSS Feeds, but Twitter mini-feeds are also integrated into EventBox. Joining Twitterific world gets easier by using EventBox; You can easily skim through tweets and reply with other tweets.
And even more, we also have big social networking site Facebook and huge photo collection community site Flickr integrated into EventBox.
Share Thoughts on Facebook
Organize Photos with Flickr
I highly recommend you to grab a copy of EventBox, this is such an essential application for your Mac, to save your time rumbling around your social network.
Anyway, I still got 451 Events need to be handled. See you guys and have a nice day!
P.S. EventBox is in public beta right now, go grab yourself a copy.
Keep Up to Date
We will come up with more and more interesting topics over the time, make sure to keep yourself up to date using RSS Feeds or Email Subscription.

I've just tried this app out… I really like it! It's great to have something that I can replace both Twitteriffic and NNW with. Good work :)

I'm not gonna pay $20 just to save me the trouble of having to go to a few websites. I'd pay maybe 10 or something.

This is simply the coolest application I've seen in a long time. Very useful.

I'm not down with the $20 price tag. It seems that with the free version, you don't get access to the Digg app or is it a bug? Either way, it's a phenomenal program. I'll run it for the time being and I'm sure that through popular demand, they'll be forced to add other services.
