Setting your Mac screensaver to a live streaming photo slideshow

readme.txt
1. Download WebSaver from http://www.sandwichlab.net/websaver/. This app allows you to display websites as a screensaver.
2. Install WebSaver
3. Visit http://new.pixable.com and select one of the categories from the Everyone's Photos or Hashtags drop down. These are public categories and will display even if you're not logged in.
4. Copy the URL. For example I went with photos from New York City (#NYC), the URL for this category is: http://new.pixable.com/#/category/135
5. Now change the URL so it will open the slideshow. To do this add slideshow before the # in the URL. For example http://new.pixable.com/slideshow/#/category/135.
6. Go to System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver and select the WebSaver screensaver.
7. Click on Options and remove the preset websites that are displayed. Then add the slideshow URL you copied from Pixable.
8. That's it!
