If you’re using Google Wave you’re probably grappling with how to use it in your workflow, or trying to figure out how it could make communicating easier for you. This app is very useful in both cases…

It’s still quite primitive, but very functional. The app sits in your Mac’s toolbar and lights up when you have new blips on a wave, displaying a number of total un-viewed blips. This simple functionality has allowed me to actually pay attention to Google Wave, turning Wave from a novelty into a tool.

I designed their updated layout and implemented the design using HTML, CSS and JavaScript while providing basic content management capabilities using Dreamweaver templates.

I had been using Bowtie up until a few days ago when I got SizzlingKeys. Bowtie worked fine for controlling iTunes with global keyboard shortcuts, but it ran as it’s own app, it froze up from time to time and it would sometimes get lost when disconnecting my second monitor.
SizzlingKeys runs as a plugin with a pref pane in System Preferences. Its functionality is solid and reliable and it can set shortcuts for essential iTunes functions and ratings. It also includes extras like assigning global keyboard shortcuts sleep, system lock and screen saver. If you’re looking for a very stable and functional iTunes controller, give SizzlingKeys a try.
