Put TwitPic on Your Dashboard
In truth I’ve never found much use for Dashboard, but once in a while I make use of Safari’s Open in Dashboard feature. Since the release of Leopard, Safari lets you take a portion of any webpage and open it up in Dashboard. Pages opened in this way are called Dashclippings. Each Dashclipping is semi-live, meaning you can’t interact with it, but it does update whenever the page from which the clip was taken is updated.
One somewhat entertaining Dashclip I’ve found is TwitPic. TwitPic lets you share photos via your Twitter feed by letting you upload and post from the site. On TwitPic’s homepage, there is a small Google Map embed that pans around the earth showing realtime photo uploads by Twitter users from around the world. It’s fun to watch and, because Dashclippings are updated in real time, you’ll see TwitPic photo uploads as they occur.
You can follow MacMembrane on Twitter and we’ll follow you back.
