WeDoCreative for online productivity, the one thing I would say you need more than anything else - is as big a screen as you can afford.

• 
  July 30, 2008 at 19:17 WeDoCreative says oh without a doubt the 2 widescreens is awesome. But i reckon 4 30inchers would be even better. I just reckon the bigger the better...within

  July 30, 2008 at 19:37 Rebecca says I agree. I have a 24" & find it does help to have more screen space!

  July 30, 2008 at 19:39 DebInDenver says I do use "spaces" and "expose" a lot on my mac and appreciate that a lot.

• 
  July 30, 2008 at 19:44 WeDoCreative says sirproudgamer...i know the feeling DebInDenver - i love the features too, but the switching between spaces starts to drive me potty
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 19:51 DebInDenver says yeah, I only use it in certain situations and usually when I don't have to do it a ton, but more to keep a project open while working on

  July 30, 2008 at 19:51 DebInDenver says another one.
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 19:57 WeDoCreative says oh btw, if you haven't tried fluid yet (fluidapp.com) i highly highly recommend it. Particularly if you prefer safari over FF
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 19:59 DebInDenver says I am definitely in the "20 or more browser tabs open" crowd. That's probably a little low for me...I use Flock
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:04 WeDoCreative says oh, then check out tabgroups firefox extension. paranoid-androids.com/tabgroups/ . You'll need to do this first though...:

• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:07 DebInDenver says on fluid, I like the MenuExtra SSB. I had a Firefox plug-in similar to that when I used FF. Haven't tried to install to Flock though.
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:08 DebInDenver says my favorite app, google notebook, is not working on Flock or FF3. That has really affected my productivity. What I liked about it is that

  July 30, 2008 at 20:07 DebInDenver says it is built into the bottom of your browser and just pops up when you want to add notes, clip, etc., so you don't have to go to a separate
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:08 DebInDenver says tab or desktop app. Sigh. The Flock people told me that the FF folks are working on it...
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:11 WeDoCreative says are you sure there isn't a way to use it with ff3? I'd put money on it that there is
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:13 DebInDenver says I have both loaded on my computer and have tried both. Neither works. I was ready to give up flock over it b/c it's such a big part of my
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:14 DebInDenver says work- I do a ton of research. And am a big clipper- who isn't? I haven't tried it with Safari though.
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:13 DebInDenver says I even uninstalled it and re-installed it. I put up questions in the google groups area and the only responses I got were spam- big surprise
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:15 WeDoCreative says hey Debs, but I just tried installing it and it seems to be working fine with ff3. What sosrt of errors do you get?
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:19 DebInDenver says of course...it works for you! This is so hard to explain, and I can't get a screenshot of it, but when the notebook pop up is open and I use

  July 30, 2008 at 20:19 DebInDenver says FF scrollbar, the image of the top of the notebook menu replicates itself many times running up and down as I scroll. So it looks like there
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:20 DebInDenver says are 20 little notebooks stacked up.
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:20 DebInDenver says you know, that gives me an idea. Maybe it's the amount of stuff I have saved in the notebook. I probably have 40 notebooks. That doesn't
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:20 DebInDenver says seem right though, and I have no knowledge of programming to know what kind of solution might work.
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:22 DebInDenver says I am going to delete some of the excess stuff and see if that helps.
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:21 WeDoCreative says hmm, that is strange - If you're really desperate to use it. I would disable all your current ff extensions ...add google notebook and then
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:22 WeDoCreative says add the other one or two at a time
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:22 WeDoCreative says it's gotta be a conflict with another extension
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:26 DebInDenver says yeah. The Flock support person, who is awesome, thought it might be StumbleUpon. But, I don't have that on FF3. I took it off Flock though.
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:27 DebInDenver says I think I uninstalled GN at the same time and then re-installed it. I don't have very many extensions on Flock- maybe 3 max.
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:48 WeDoCreative says that is really strange - maybe reinstall both?
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 20:49 DebInDenver says yeah, I was thinking of that.

• 
  July 30, 2008 at 21:39 waveydavie asks what's the advantage of two screens and how does it work? Still using a 19" but have acquired a 23".
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 23:39 WeDoCreative says although i have one 30 inch (screen). I think the benefits of two screens are width - and basicall the ability to move your eyes across left
• 
  July 30, 2008 at 23:41 WeDoCreative says and right, rather than left, right, up & down
