Netjaxer – Integrate Web 2.0 with your desktop

February 25, 2006 by in Tech with 11 Comments

Netjaxer is an easy way to integrate your favorite web apps into Windows. Create a desktop or quick launch icon. Load any web page when Windows starts and run it as a tray icon.

If you actively maintain or access accounts on any of todays Web 2.0 services (I’m beginning to hate term) including Gmail, Digg, 43Things, and Writely, Netjaxer may hold the key to integrating your “favorite” services directly into your desktop environment and work flow.

By the way, when was Gmail deemed a Web 2.0 service?

Try Netjaxer

    I always considered it to be Web 2.0..

    what exactly makes the service a web2.0 service? is it the tag like labels? i don’t see any sort of sharing going on.

    I wonder why this is such a big deal. You could just make the icons manually!

    well i guess the “advantage” is that these services launch in their own windows like a stand alone application minus the navigation bar.

    But most people want their navigation bar. And also, do these open as HTAs?

    Ok, did I miss something? When did everything become “Web2.0″? I don’t understand the difference! Whats so much different from these “web2.0″ services that other sites have? WHAT IS WEB2.0????

    I have to agree with Joe. You can basically do this yourself, minus a system tray icon. But since I don’t like the Sys Tray much, I usually disable programs from running in it.

    Hey! You never posted about 43things.com did you? (!!) Thanks to this post, I discovered it and along with it 43places, the coolest website I’ve visited all year. I ask so many questions to people around the country/world :)
