My Mac OSX essential apps I could not live without

Since I had so many problems with Snow Leopard I finally completely backed up my mac and wiped it. Rather than getting it all back from a backup I just did a clean install of snow leopard (which now finally feels super fast) and I reinstalled the apps one by one, so I thought like sharing with you my must have.

-quicksilver to open super fast any app without using the mouse
-1password to only remember one password and that's all, for all the sites, with the 1password safari plugin
-delicious safari plugin to bookmark fast
-xmarks to sync my bookmarks from the cloud and find them on any computer I am
-seesmic for my social software life (you had no doubt about this one I am sure)
-mailplane to easily manage several gmail accounts
-skype  to stay in touch with my company (we use it continuously to work) and my friends
-spanning sync syncs my gmail contacts and calendar with the mac ical and contacts
-evernote to take notes and find them on all my computers and mobile
-fluid to make a web app behave like a normal app, works great with seesmic web 
-skitch to screencapture fast, add cool comments and post

oh and of course I forgot you need ilife to get imovie so I have to look for that dvd everywhere now.

I guess those I simply cannot live without those. Now my Mac feels real fast so I will enjoy that!

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.

You may also want to subscribe to my RSS feeds in English, French or my video podcast feed.
