This App is Fluid

I am sure a lot of you have heard of it but for those of you that haven’t Fluid is a small cocoa application that creates real desktop apps of any webapp (or web site for that matter) that you wish.
So, for example, if I use google reader a lot you simply plug in reader.google.com into its simple opening window, along with a name of your choice, [in this case I would strongly suggest Google reader].
Fluid then goes to work and creates a proper app and places it in a directory of your choosing. It even sets its icon to be the favicon from the browser or an icon you specify. There is a Flickr group that makes a bunch of really great icons for all the well known web apps that look a lot better than the favicons.
