Back homeQuicksilver has always been one of my top apps for the mac. Its unobtrusive, quick and extremely simple. The interface has never bothered me before either, until I found this new plugin which just blows the old interface out of the water!
Silverflow, created by Julius Eckert is an awesome new design for when you hit the command to get quicksilver running.
An extremely talented guy named Jake Marsh has created something quite extraordinary.
Over on his blog, he writes about an app he has built for myspace users to use on their iphone/touch or any hand held device. The design of it is unreal, making you want to use it predominantly more than the actual myspace site. It looks similar to the facebook app, - but with so many more features!
So, twitter. Great little app which amuses many, baffles some, and downright kills some peoples work routine. I love twitter for many reasons - one being that you get to see what your peers, geeks with similar passions, and random strangers are doing.
I follow alot of designers/developers/entrepreneurs who just post random things, say - a link to an interesting site. Some of the time it doesn’t interest me as it is not involving my area. Then again sometimes people post some amazing links which you know you would never find on your own.
Many mac users I know use Adium. Its very osx-ish so fits in perfectly with macs interface. Only one thing bugged me about it though, and that was lack of custom smiley support.
I know, it sounds childish, but I had some great smilies that I used every day, like a *smug* one, and a *huh?* one. They were a part of my communication really.
So I became a MSFM user, and its scary, but for once, Microsoft pulled this one out of the bag. It is just like using normal MSN, which I loved. I am still waiting out for Trillian to arrive, but until then this will suffice.
Today on one of my rss feeds i was directed to Microsoft’s site where they have released an updated version for MSFM. Rumor was that it wasn’t letting anyone connect to their accounts. So I downloaded it an yup, it works like a charm for me!
