Skinnyr is a weight-tracking widget to place on your MySpace page. You can update your weight regularly on Skinnyr.com, or add the bookmarklet to your Firefox Toolbar - your weight-loss (or gain) is displayed in a neat little Flash graph. And of course you can subscribe via an RSS feed (!). Creator James Thomas originally designed the widget to track his own weight, but along with coconspirator Chris Casper, he decided to spin it off into an irreverent Web 2.0 play (they claim to have "web 2.0'd the snot out of it"). The site took a grand total of 6 hours and 17 minutes to create - time that could have been spent on the treadmill.
The list of sites that feed the MySpace beast is growing longer by the day: RockYou, Slide, Photobucket, NooZ, Abazab, Umundo, Kiko Events, Frappr, BuddyPing, Sitepal, Stickam, Bunchball, MyPickList and Nabbr are among the more interesting plays.
Skinnyr joins The Daily Plate in what will inevitably be called "Dieting 2.0".
