I’m Sure You Could Use More Desktop Space
Even though I have a fairly large screen (wait! I have 2), I always have to hide applications, resize windows, like there’s never enough space. More space on my desktop would really help me be more productive. Well some folks have a solution, it’s called 360Desktop.
Grab all of your favorite web apps and content — web widgets, RSS feeds, AJAX start pages, or any part of any web page — and make them available any time, in an expanded photo-panoramic desktop. - 360Desktop
I have to say it looks very interesting, and I’m sure many of you could make good use of that additional space, and also all the goodies they’ll include. They’re not even in beta yet, but I can’t wait! (hopefully the Mac version will be in the beta, we’ll see.)
Great job 360! Can’t wait to have a photo-panoramic desktop :)

Unix has a similar feature, except it’s interface is a 3D rotating cube with 6 different sides/desktops. Really cool.

Or you could get a Mac with the new operating system that allows you to stack your files in a pretend 3D world.

Limitless, welcome, thanks for the linkage on your blog, really appreciated!
Hi Allison, I never really played with Linux a lot, but that’s something I wanna do soon (once I’m done with some projects), but that looks pretty cool, will check it out when I get a chance. Thanks for the info :)
Anja, I have 2 Macs, but I’ll have to get 10.5 (I’m running 10.4 right now), the “stack” and “spaces” features are looking really good, although it’s not like having a 360 view of your desktop hehe

I’d really, really love to know how this won’t eat every scrap of memory I can throw at it.

Hey Ian, yeah can’t wait either, it must be pretty resource intensive though (oh well, I’ll have to get a new comp lol)
Ritu, great, thanks for letting me know, I’ll check it out right away :)
Mer, so do I, I have a feeling my Powerbook G4 won’t be able to take it.

Crazy, I was actually looking for something JUST LIKE THIS maybe 2 or 3 months ago at most (OK, they obviously added some extra bells & whistles). It actually surprised me that I couldn’t find a panoramic desktop like this. Just stumbling across it like this is great.
