June 29, 2004 (Press Release) --
(Burbank, CA -- June, 2004) -- More and more people are using the Web as their primary news source. Now, Deskpops Interactive Wallpaper is changing the way Internet news is delivered, by embedding headlines right in the user's desktop wallpaper.
"Deskpops is an elegant new solution for keeping up with what's going on in the world, because all it takes is a glance at your desktop," says Jeffrey Smith, Deskpops' CEO. "And a click to any headline opens the full story."
Deskpops offers over 80 news sources, with feeds that run the gamut from top headlines to funny quotes, sports scores to stock picks, political commentary to dinner recipes. All headlines are updated every 15 minutes.
One particularly fun feed is the Apple iTunes' Top Ten Songs. A click opens a preview of the song in the user's iTunes program.
Additional features include a built-in Google searchbox and a "Hide Deskpops" button, which removes the headlines from view. "Our large selection of wallpaper designs insures there's a Deskpops Interactive Wallpaper for any personality," says Smith. Deskpops already has over 100 designs and more are being added daily.
Experts are calling RSS ("Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication") the next big thing in the Internet. In fact, Forbes recently declared that 2004 "is the year of the RSS feed." Deskpops' patent-pending software embeds RSS into an always-on, always-available program.
"Deskpops presents the most up-to-date information right in the user's desktop," says Smith. "The news you care about is always right in front of your face."
