“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 5 – Realmac Software bundle
On the Fifth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Realmac Software bundle featuring your very own copies of RapidWeaver, LittleSnapper, and Socialite!
RapidWeaver is so full of awesomeness, you should really check out all its features.
First up is RapidWeaver, the web design app that will have you looking like a pro in no time, or, if you already are a pro, having you looking pretty much the same, but with more free time. With 40 built-in templates, 10 page types, and tons of plug-ins, you’ll be cranking out Photo albums from your iPhoto library, blogs, flash slideshows, podcasts and more in a matter of minutes, and the sites not only won’t suck, they’ll actually look like you knew what you were doing! RapidWeaver was built for Leopard and has a slick interface and tons of cool features like built-in Google Analytics support, favicon creation, one-click publishing (even to MobileMe), and a robust user community of over 23,000 members and growing. Even if you don’t win you should download the free 30 day trial here and check it out, it really is quite slick.
Next we have LittleSnapper. Don’t let the name fool you, LittleSnapper is big on features, and if you are looking for a better way to grab snapshots of webpages, your desktop, or pretty much anything, odds are LittleSnapper has got you covered. LittleSnapper not only lets you snap pages or page elements (sort of like Safari’s webclips) but it also allows you to build a library of your snaps for latter viewing or editing. You can make non-destructive annotations, share snaps with friends and clients via Flickr or FTP. One of my personal favorite features of LittleSnapper is it can take a shot of an entire webpage, even parts that are off the screen, so I no longer have to do stitching in Photoshop.
Finally we have Socialite, a beautiful Mac OS X application, designed to make it easy to stay in touch with the social networks and services that matter to you. From news on Digg, photos on Flickr, statuses and photos on Facebook and Twitter updates, to full Google Reader RSS syncing, Socialite keeps all your social networks in one convenient place.
To enter: Since RapidWeaver, LittleSnapper and Socialite are all about wasting your time on the web, simply tell us what is your current biggest/favorite time waster right now? (It doesn’t necessarily have to be on the web) Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

My biggest time waster is job hunting. It may not actually be a waste of my time, but it sure feels that way when I apply for fifty jobs and only get so much as a simple “no thanks” from one if I’m lucky.
Playing Wii!
it was spent on fantasy football, but now that I won my leagues, it will used on wikipedia.
Reading Macenstein (Just kidding Doc). Reading blogs on the web is one of my favorite ways to “waste time”.
World of Warcraft, I knew I would get hooked on it but I decided to start playing anyway; now it sucks up far too many hours of my week.

Facebook & Green Fingers
1. trying to find more apps to feed my iPhone with – by spending hours trawling through the app stores 100,000+ apps. searching for apps can be likened to a bottomless pit as you need a bottomless pit of cash to continue to feed iPhone and purchase apps – that and the production of apps will never cease.
2. trying to get the Eye TV 3G Web application to play nice with my MacBook Pro, whilst still retaining the passcode functionality.
3. waiting 3 hours for a 1hr Eye TV recording to export to Apple TV format! Arrgh!
