Sometime ago, my good friend and free-lance graphic artist Drew Solorio introduced me to this really cool tool called "ObjectDock", created by Stardock. ObjectDock is a program that enables its users to organize their programs into a dock... very similar to the small panel found on computers running Mac OS X. ObjectDock enables users to have more control over how they organize their desktop. Rather than having a bunch of icons on the desktop, these icons can be placed onto the dock.
I've been using ObjectDock for over a year now and even though it's such a great tool, I never thought to Blog about out it... until now that is. Why now? Well, a couple of my colleagues at the office noticed ObjectDock on my computer, and instantly fell in love with its easy-to-use interface and of course its ability to clear and organize one's own desktop. I thought that because many of them appreciated this tool that maybe many of you will as well.
Above is a screen-shot of ObjectDock, but because getting a really good screen-shot of the program in action is incredibly difficult to do (mostly because my dock is about as long as my entire screen), I went out and found some.
In addition to having a clean and organized desktop, some of the cool features that I personally enjoy are its highly flexible visual appearance, mouse-over zoom effects, and the optional Start Bar replacement feature. However, above all that, my absolute favorite feature is its ability to "hide" off-screen when it's not being used. If hidden, I simply place my mouse on the far right-side of the screen (location is changeable) and ObjectDock appears.
Even though this tool will not, in anyway, affect your search engine marketing efforts, I highly recommend it as a tool for organizing your desktop... thus your whole computer experience. You can download/buy ObjectDock from the following websites:
Download a free version of ObjectDock 3.1 from Download.com
Buy ObjectDock Plus from Stardock
If you're a current ObjectDock user or someone who learned about it here and decided to give it a try, please feel free to comment. I'd love to know your thoughts.
Enjoy!

I probably spent three hours this weekend playing with all the settings. I can't believe how amazed I am by something this simple!
That's typically the case with small apps: those that are the perfect solution for what we need, are also those that nobody has ever heard about.
Thanks for your comments. I am glad to hear that my ObjectDock review was helpful.
