Bubbles

Many internet experts believe that the future of Internet lies in web applications, given the countless options available today and the great potential they carry. Well, maybe the future isn’t as far away as we thought... Bubbles is a free application for Windows that lets you put web applications directly on your desktop, so you can enjoy Gmail, Flickr, or Google Calendar from your desktop. Integration to your desktop is smooth; it lets you choose what applications to run at startup, create direct accesses, see your icons on the system tray, and even receive notifications for new emails or calendar events. As if this wasn’t already enough, you can also easily install new web applications and thus be able to enjoy services such as Picasa Web, Deezer, VectorMagic, or Picnik directly from your Desktop, all thanks to Bubbles.
