I’d always wondered who would want to pay for an application that loads a new desktop background every n minutes or hours (or days, or weeks, or… seconds). I wasn’t the only one, evidently, because it’s now free — I don’t know how they intend to make money and pay for the servers now, but I guess that’s called web 2.0.
I tend to be rather deliberate about choosing my wallpaper, so I probably won’t keep Desktoptopia running, but at this price it’s still a bargain. Especially when you look at the image library’s quality, which has always been its big appeal.
P.S. Ah, I didn’t bother to read the FAQ: it’s ad-supported, of course. Fair enough, and probably more viable than subscriptions, if the occasional commercial wallpapers are as pretty as the regular ones.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
