Facebook notifications as your RSS screen saver

I have used the RSS Visualizer that’s on my Powerbook to display headlines from the BBC news feed until now. Tonight my brother noticed the BBC headlines flashing across my idle screen in the blue animated Mac screen saver. He said “can you put your facebook on there?” – So I checked out the options for the screensaver in the system prefrences  and found it pulls from the [News] bookmarks folder in the Safari browser.  I went to my facebook and in my notifications and hit ’subscribe to feed’. Then I took the URL from that page and added into the [News] bookmark folder in Safari. Then when it showed up in the Safari [News] bookmarks folder I selected it as the RSS source in the visualizer options.  Now I have facebook notifications coming up as my screen saver. I’m sure you could do this with another RSS feed too.
