Cool Mac Tricks (1)

So it turns out that if you're chatting with someone in iChat and you want to send them the URL for a web page you're looking at, you can just click on the little icon to the left of the URL in Safari and drag into into iChat, where it'll create a nice hyperlink whose text is the title of the page and which links to the page, all ready for you to send. Furthermore, while adding the link to iChat at the beginning of this paragraph, I discovered that you can drag it into web-page forms as well, although it'll only paste the URL and not a complete hyperlink.

There may be something to this notion of integrating all of the applications.

That little icon is the favicon; on kittywompus it's a moose, and I did one for PNN as well. Would you like an Ask DP favicon? For some reason, Mac browsers like Chimera and Safari are better at displaying them than PC browsers I've used. There's probably some reason for this.
