Site of the week - Alfred

Alfred is a new contender in the Quick Launch Bar business. Although it is relatively new I like their approach to jumping to items with the command key. Maybe we will see others picking up on this as well.

Features:

  • Quickly jump to items via the Command key
  • Fast, fresh UI

Cons:

  • Still very new.
  • Amazon affiliate links in Amazon queries
  • Not open source.
  • Not a Universal Binary. This shouldn’t be hard to implement and support so I’m not sure I buy the excuse of not owning a PPC machine.
