Netjaxer - Is it worth it?
New web2.0 applications are not all valuable or at least that is what it seems to start with. 
I realized this when I came across an application called Netjaxer. Netjaxer is a Windows only application and enables you to create shortcuts for frequently used web services, like Gmail or Writely. A custom NetJaxer browser is used for interacting
with the web apps.
“Our program is called NetJaxer http://www.netjaxer.com/ It’s a free and easy way to integrate a users favorite Web 2.0 apps like Gmail, TadaList, Digg, Writely, Kiko, iOutliner, Meebo, financial sites, and other Ajax based web programs right into Windows. They can create desktop, tray, and quick launch icons. These applications can easily be used with our custom browser.”
The Ajaxian blog pointed out that what NetJaxer does can be achieved using existing desktop functionality, however they said it does hold some promise - “imagine dragging a document into a GMail icon or having desktop notification that your buddy just logged in to Campfire.”
I do not find the application useful as the same functionality can be achieved by tweaking the code a bit.
