Subscribe for wallpapers like you do it with a newspaper.
More and more software ‘interior’ of a computer is stored online. The first victims of this process were mail clients. The struggle has been long, but now we can say for sure that it is more convenient to use online mail. After that bookmarks, calendars, organizers, text processors, spreadsheets, photo archives, etc. moved from the computer to the Net. For many reasons, it is now more comfortable to store all that in the Internet. One more service has recently become popular and can be easily added to this list now as well: online wallpaper. It is very similar to newspapers: someone publishes news and you subscribe to them and receive them with the help of a mail box or RSS. The only difference in case of online wallpaper is that someone publishes photos on the Internet and they automatically appear on your desktop. This online wallpaper service for subscribers and publishers is called Wapacaster.com. You can subscribe to wallpapers and see how it works here.
Wallpaper images are grouped into channels you can switch: landscapes, nature, celebrities and so on. Sets of images and topics depend on each publisher’s personal preferences. Usually, this wallpaper webcasting on each topic comes parallel to a blog. Obviously, because the ‘wapacasting’ and blog technologies are ideologically similar and perfectly complement each other. Sample wapacasting blogs: Landscape Pictures, Nature Wallpapers.
It should be noted that the authors of the above blogs stick to the way of publishing photos taken from another closely related online photo archive service - Flickr. It is significant that photos are licensed as ‘Creative Commons’ or ‘Some Rights Reserved’ - another phenomenon that could emerge and exist only online.
Thus, the appearance of some web services results in the emergence of other services and we see some kind of online OS growing in front of our eyes where we gradually move the items of the software interior of our personal computers. It is high time to make bets what the next online software replacement service after online wallpaper will became popular. May be online clocks?

I just installed your software and I’m having a slight problem. The software downloads each new image and sets it as the wallpaper (I can see this in the ‘Display Properties’ box, if I open it), but the computer doesn’t update the display to show the image. I have to manually open ‘Display Properties’ and make it apply the image. Is there a way to fix this? I’m running Windows XP Pro. Thanks.

I can’t get it to load the wallpaper. Each morning when I come in, the screen is blank and it says, "No images loaded yet" or something like that.
