Fluid: Improves interaction with commonly used websites
Jul

When you use a web based email client on a regular basis
(Gmail), it can get quite annoying having to go to the
appropriate tab (if you use tabs), in the appropriate
browser, to check whether or not you've got new e-mails. It
would be super nice if I could have an application that I
could use to check my gmail account. Well... If you have a
Mac with OS X Leopard installed, you are in luck. The
solution is a great little application called "Fluid".
What is Fluid
Fluid is an application that allows you to create SSBs for
the sites you frequent. What is an SSB? According to Wikipedia, "A Si
te Specific Browser (SSB) is a software application that
is dedicated to accessing pages from a single source (site)
on a computer network such as the Internet or a private
intranet. SSBs typically simplify the more complex functions
of a web browser by excluding the menus, toolbars and
browser chrome associated with functions that are external
to the workings of a single site."
