App of the Week: Free - Ziibii

ziblie.gifWith its unusual method of delivering content, Ziibii (available here) isn't for everyone, but many will find it interesting enough to take a look. The app lets you subscribe to RSS feeds, Flickr keywords, Twitter accounts, and more, then watch updated content scroll across the screen in what's called "the river."

If the scrolling view is too odd for you, Ziibii also offers a list view of new content. You can tap any item to view a longer entry, or tap a tap a red button to the right of it to replace it with a new entry. It adds a random flavor to your browsing: you can stock it with your online favorites, but you still don't know what you'll get.

We're not going to say this is the greatest Twitter client in the world or that it's even the most useful way to get updated information, but it presents an appealing random interface that we're really digging. When so much on the Net is structured and organized, it's fun to be surprised once in a while.
