Shared Photo Screensaver Module

Danny Novo has an idea for a Mac developer with a bit of time:

I subscribe to Apple’s .Mac service. I do so for exactly one feature: the .Mac screensaver. This feature works thusly: I designate an album in iPhoto, hit “.Mac slides”, upload the photos, go to my screensaver in Mac OS X, designate my .Mac member ID, and voila, screensaver of the photos with complete Ken Burns Effect. Anybody with Mac OS X can subscribe to this screensaver if they know my member ID. Like the Grandmas.

[…]

If you write a program to do this, I will pay you $100 (what .Mac cost me this past year) to be able to use it. Make it freeware, make it shareware, make it open source, I don’t care. Just give me a working copy and I will send you $100.

Can't you just make a folder of the photos in the album you want, then choose that folder in System Preferences for your screen saver?

Yes, but that doesn't share them...

Hey Michael,

A Mac version of ZoomFoot is in development. The PC version is out now. We'll have an iPhone app too, so that you can snap shots that automatically distribute to your network.
