AOL Launches New Resource (Beta): AwayView, Content Pushed to Your Desktop in Screen Saver Format

AOL Launches New Screen Saver Beta: AwayView

AOL AwayView is a dynamic, interactive screen saver that provides customized, real time content delivery in a screen saver format. AwayView will present local weather information, unread AOL email and instant message alerts, and featured content from the AOL Media Center categories including News, Sports, TV, Movies, Music, and more.

AwayView (Beta) requires a download (Windows only).

We haven’t had a chance to try it yet but the description sounds similar to the new product that was released by Real Networks named RealTime a few weeks ago.

As we said a few weeks ago, was Pointcast a few years to early?
