We love web apps, and as we’ve said before, we use a lot of them. The only problem with web apps is keeping them all open in 1 browser. Fluid App can help with this…
Are you a Gmail, Facebook, Campfire or Pandora fanatic? Do you have 20 or more browser tabs open at all times? Are you tired of some random site or Flash ad crashing your browser and causing you to lose your (say) Google Docs data in another tab?
If so, Site Specific Browsers (SSBs) provide a great solution for your WebApp woes. Using Fluid, you can create SSBs to run each of your favorite WebApps as a separate Cocoa desktop application. Fluid gives any WebApp a home on your Mac OS X desktop complete with Dock icon, standard menu bar, logical separation from your other web browsing activity, and many, many other goodies.

If you’re on a tight budget right now, here’s a recession-busting tip for you: Instead of blowing thousands of bucks on web design, you could be better off doing-it-yourself and creating a website for FREE.
There are quite a few products online which enable you to build websites for free. You could use Google Sites, Yahoo! Geocities or Facebook Pages, and I’m sure there are many other options, especially amongst the more niche social networks.
Facebook Pages is my personal favourite. This is because a Facebook Page comes packed with some pretty powerful features, such as The Wall, Photos, Discussion Forums, Video Gallery and more. These features allow your users to interact in much more profound ways than the average brochureware website from the average web designer. To build all these features into a custom coded website you would be looking at a substantial bill and a lot of heartache in trying to get your site launched. You can launch a Facebook Page in seconds. Which means you can be testing out your ideas on an audience in seconds, which in turn means you can make a decision on what to do with your project much more quickly.
If you need a site for a business, product, group, organisation, band or whatever you will undoubtedly create a better user experience using a Facebook Page.
The only drawback with Facebook Pages, and with the other options above, is that you don’t have much control over the look and feel and how your brand is presented. However, this hasn’t stopped other leading brands from using it.
If you know of some other options for building free websites, please post them in the comments below…

Tens of thousands of innocent civilians are trapped in a shrinking 3 square kilometer (1.6 miles) conflict zone – bombarded by government artillery, and used as human shields by the rebels. The Japanese government, Sri Lanka’s major donor and close regional partner has the power to help stop this humanitarian disaster. (Source: AVAAZ.org )
