I'm planning to make the post/send actions extensible in the future through the Options dialog, but in any case I'll add a Facebook one in the next version. Will definitely take a look at netvibes--now that we have one integration working, it should be easy to do others. I don't have a forum right now, so blog posts (or email to me) are best right now.

is there a better place to provide overall app comments and feedback than on blog posts?

We are already using it in a number of business situations. What I find refreshing is that you made cut and paste a one step operation. Cool! We are going to use the same concept in our AIR apps as well. Thank you. Love Snackr. We are already using it in a number of business situations.

Snackr is fantastic for snacking on news through the day...:) One request I've got (you may have seen this already) - I'd love for clicking on feed items to open in the existing Firefox window that's open, rather than opening a new window. I'm on OSX 10.x with Firefox 3... I like it! Snackr is fantastic for snacking on news through the day…:)

I can't quite tell from your descirption what's going on--is the problem that when you click on a feed in Firefox, you can't get the feed URL? Sounds like some behavior has changed in Firefox. I'll have to take a look. @Pemo–haven’t tried FF3 yet. I can’t quite tell from your descirption what’s going on–is the problem that when you click on a feed in Firefox, you can’t get the feed URL?
