Winners Announced On Times Competition

Times-512.png

Times is the latest addition to Dustin’s achievement list and the first application he’s created under his new company Acrylic.

Most people would describe software as boring, bland, dull tools that are only necessary to simply get a job done. Sadly enough, most modern software actually matches this description pretty well. Acrylic is different. We think of software as something much more - an amazing medium to express new ideas and experiences to the user. We strive to create innovative, beautiful, fun software that makes using a computer more enjoyable. - Dustin MacDonald.

Trying to reinvent the way you read news, they’ve created the best possible news experience straight from the ground up. Instead of treating news like email (as most RSS readers do), Times presents you with headlines and photos from a variety of sources all in one place, letting you more easily discover the news you want to read.

The Winners

Our sincere thanks to the 138 people who entered the competition. This may be the first competition we’ve run on Desktop Vibes, but it most certainly won’t be the last. Expect another within a fortnight.

Your registration details for Times will be on the way shortly. Enjoy a completely new experience of RSS.

    Also, a thank you to Acrylic Apps!

    Just one question, for the feeds in Times, is there a way to view older feeds? Because normally the feeds i subscribe to have over 40 feeds in a day, and Times only shows me 11 of the latest articles. Is there a setting anywhere where I could change it?

    Commenting a bit late, but yeah… Haha. It’s a great piece of software for reading the longer news feeds that I’d normally try to cover in Google Reader. Thanks for the copy! :)
