Site specific browser application for Mac—Fluid
As you know, boundaries between local applications and web applications are meshing. We rely more and more on chat, voice and email services that are online. Fluid is a nice approach to the conversion of your favourite online destination into a site specific application or browser. I’ve created “applications” for GMAIL, Google Voice, LinkedIn, facebook and Mobile Me. All you have to do is paste your online service’s url into Fluid’s dialog box and add an icon (128 x 128 pixels) for the finishing touch. You will have a convenient launchable online destination thereby avoiding the launch of a separate browser.
If your destination site is allergic to Fluid’s default choice of a browser emulation, you can set it yourself. When your relaunch the application, it will remember your choice.
