I like doing that, and using the favicons for quick launching and switching. Donna – you can create separate Fluid apps for each of your blogs, too, allowing you to Alt-Tab between them as apps.

I'll check it out. I tend to have so many apps and windows open, then I've always got about a dozen tabs open in Firefox or Flock... it gets to be too much. I make use of Spaces... a lot, to give me a new uncluttered screen with just one thing to focus on. I sounds like fluid.app might work really well for me with different logins to my various Wordpress blogs, and dev blog in different spaces, then I can just control+arrow between them.

I use it for gmail, my google calendar (prefer it to syncing with iCal), twitter, and different freshbooks pages for time tracking, invoicing, etc. Google Calendar in full screen in one Space on my 24" iMac is very nice. Bonus with the gmail inbox count in the dock. Really though, this thing is one of those super simple, but super useful apps. Alt-Tabbing through Fluid apps with icons is also much nicer than navigating tabs in Safari. Fluid is very nice – didn’t think about using it with Wordpress admin, thanks for that tip, Thanasi.

I like it because it has drag-n-drop file support in addition to other features. http://www.karppinen.fi/pyro/ Hi Paul,

I don't think I've come across a blog that was driven by an "id" before. Let's break out the wikipedia, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego" rel="nofollow">see here</a>. Realize that by pointing you to that article, I obviously knew everything in it before looking at it, hehe. Oh thanks Nick for the complement on my site, at least I’m doing something right!

What's the big advantage of clicking your taskbar / dashboard instead of switching tabs in the browser that's already in front of you? One post I read gushed over the security benefits of using separate browsers for things like bank websites, set up with different firewall settings and such. Also, there is a potential benefit in performance for RAM hogging web apps like Gmail. As far as convenience though, I see these things as a step backwards from using tabs for multitasking.

According to the comment, Prizm is not currently a worthy alternative. Keep the sarcastic comments for your ego-driven blog. @AndrewSwihart: Sometimes it helps to read the whole comment.

Got in on it during the beta program and was a little hesitant at first, but now I absolutely love it. Anyway, I made an SSB for my WordPress admin section since I don't like any of the Blogging apps for the Mac. I'm including an SSB for our Faculty attendance/grading website at work in next year's image. We also have a Mac mini running a 42" Samsung LCD in our student commons room. Our web developer coded an internal website to display current weather, news ticker, school events and athletics games for the day, etc. We created an SSB for this e-board site with Fluid.app and run it in fullscreen on the Samsung.

I found it more of a hassle than just running everything in one browser, maybe that will change as the product develops and adds more value. Paul, does this seriously rock your world?

When I go to Facebook and it stalls, it's not influencing my open Safari windows and so on... Furthermore, with Gmail in its own window, I don't have to pay for Mailplane!
