A few days ago I downloaded Fluid which enables you to create Site Specific Browsers (SSBs) to run your favourite web apps as a seperate desktop app for your Mac. I didn’t know such a thing existed until I happened to be looking at Twitter just before sleep a few nights ago and Chris mentioned it. Sometimes it really does pay to be a nightowl

I set up Hahlo (like Chris) in Fluid and it looks great as a desktop application.

If I wasn’t such a big fan of Twitterrific then I’d be using that as my desktop Twitter client. I use Hahlo 3 on my iPod touch, so it’s a very familiar interface not to mention clean and uncluttered - two very important things to me when it comes to desktop apps.

At the moment I haven’t got any other SSBs set up in Fluid, but when sites such as Socialthing! extend their services and sort out the problems with their existing ones then Fluid is going to be absolutely perfect for that.
