360 Desktop - What a concept
Last night while I was stumbling pages on stumbleupon is when I came across this site. This is was one of the easy finds as I wasn’t specifically looking for something to write about and there it was, grabbing my attention - 360 Desktop.
This is one awesome idea that lets you expand your desktop space. Think for a moment, You have two word documents and three excel document open and a web browser as well and you are working with all of them and you dont want to minimize any one, this is where this software is going to help. With 360 desktop you get a desktop that you can move around all the way round. You can have all the windows open and move from one to another by simply moving your mouse as the desktop will move with you.
To make it easier think of a product that you can view all the way around ( 360 degree ). Same principle but for your desktop space. Honestly, I just dont have the words to describe this software so please do this program justice by visiting the site and watch the video that shows this application in action, watch 360 Desktop in action
The software is currently in beta so if you want to try it out go ahead and signup for beta and try it out. This looks to be very promising and interesting.
Thanks for the fave!
Great coverage on all ‘work n play’ applications

It’s an interesting idea, especially as many of us have many applications open now and the extra desktop space will be a major bonus.
I agree Colin, it just seems like desktop space just seems to be getting smaller and smaller with the use of all the applications that we run simultaneously. hopefully this is our soulution, we will see
I’m not opposed to these sorts of desktop management utilities, but I’m not clear on what real value they offer. What’s the difference between using Alt-Tab to toggle between apps on a single desktop and using some other key combo to toggle between desktops?
Most of the desktop management/expander apps I’ve seen amounted to little more than cool eye candy and didn’t seem to offer much in terms of making me any more productive.
I agree with what you have to say Rob. But since the application is still in private Beta and all we could learn about it is through a video, we might just have to wait and see how it comes out once its public.
I think that if you’re hard-pressed to care about standard desktop-enhancement software, 360desktop makes some intriguing promises.
You can pretty much already do this in other Operating Systems.
