If Jason Snell could have only one Mac utility, only one single piece of software that he could use to improve using his Mac and all its programs through his daily business, it would be Objective Development's LaunchBar.
Just started using Quicksliver but I think I'll get the luxury of using both. Is it possible to add YouTube in the search list (as shown here with imdb and wikipedia)?
Only one problem: sometimes I have to use other people's machines and start stabbing at CMD-Space...and nothing happens. Then I get this look from them like, "what the $#@! are you doing??" It's embarrassing!
He only touched on a some of the features in launchbar. You can do a ton more, like dial anyone in your address book using Vonage + click2call (requires applescript), setup your own search websites in seconds, do math calculations, send commands to terminal, lookup dictionary words, speak text, etc., etc. You feel naked... I feel like I can't breath without it. I used to get headaches clicking on all those folder trees!
@gusphraba yes. Any site with a GET search url can work.
