webslides
Submit a feed to Diigo's Webslides service (http://slides.diigo.com). Supply the full URL of the feed as the only parameter. Webslides displays the content of a feed in a full-screen, slideshow-like format.

However, it's a nice way to read feeds of bookmarks or other shared links. Example: webslides http://feeds.delicious.com…
