Fluid on Mac

If you’re a Mac user and an avid consumer of web applications (Flickr, Delicious, Basecamp, Netvibes, Gmail, etc, just to name a few) then you’ll problably be happy to install Fluid.

Fluid is a small application for the Mac which enables you to create Site Specific Browsers (SSBs) for your most used web applications. That means they will run as if they were a stand alone application on your Mac with it’s own desktop icon, menubar, etc.

You can even leave it the dock for easy access to your app, so give Fluid a try, it’s free. There’s even a Flickr Group full of icons for your dock.
Note: If you’re using Windows I guess you could try Prism from Mozilla Labs.
what’s in your dock or sidebar?

So, my question for today is: What applications do you keep on your dock/sidebar? Which essential applications do you use daily?
The following is part of my dock:
- Finder
- Mail (although I still prefer the Google Mail look and feel)
- DashBoard
- Firefox (has all my essential development plugins)
- Safari (faster browsing)
- iTunes
- MAMP (very easy and painless php+mysql+apache on a Mac)
- Textmate (my favourite editor)
- Pixelmator (I learned to forget about Photoshop because I only use 10% of it)
- GoPlan (using Fluid)
- Transmit (ftp made easy)
- Stickies (lot’s of them)
- Calendar
- Terminal (never knew I would say this but I can’t live without it now)
- Control Panel
- and the usual folders and trash bin.
