Add HootSuite to your Mac Dock – HootSuite Mac Widget?!
Ok, it’s not quite a HootSuite Mac Widget just yet – but it’s as near as it can be right now!
I’ve been using HootSuite for a while now and became frustrated at having to run it in a web browser. It just seems a little old school (I know I know, it isn’t!).
So, I did a bit of looking around and found a fantastic blog post which shows you how to use Fluid to create your own HootSuite Mac App…. I’ve tried it and it works a treat – HootSuite now sits nicely on my Mac Dock… :0)

I can remember not so long ago, I bet less than 18 months, when I’d have all sorts of software open just to run my day to day admin. Back when I was rockin’ Windows I had all sorts of bits open in my task bar to get me through the day. It struck me
Mac vs PC 2010 – Life One Year After Moving To Mac
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Last November I finally made the jump from PC to Mac, an iMac 27 dual core running Snow Leopard to be precise, following my love for the iPhone. Since then I’ve also gotten myself a MacBook Pro 13 inch (that I’m writing this on as we speak) so that I can work a little more

This is only a little one but it was a right pain in the proverbial…. When you’re listening to Spotify on your Mac and you hit “Play / Pause” on your little Mac keyboard, sure Spotify pauses – but iTunes opens up too; if you’ve already got iTunes open (syncing your phone for example) then

A while ago I considered making the move from PC to Mac. There were a few reasons really, to be honest the main one was the seemingly inevitable degradation of Windows after a bit of use. We’ve all experienced that! Of course, Macs look great and we all know they perform well; given that Apple
