BumpTop – A Step in the Right Direction?
You tend to fill your Desktop with a lot of icons and use is like a clipboard? You like the the simplicity of dragging stuff onto the Desktop for later processing and it serves as your prime download folder? If that’s the case, you might want to check out BumpTop. According to the website BumpTop is “a fresh and engaging new way to interact with your computer desktop”. I can assure you that it sure is. This piece of software tries to mimic your real-life desk and it does so in quite a nice way. You can push, pull, toss, pile, and sort your documents with simple gestures. Sound like some real cool stuff. Check it out:
To my mind, however, managing the desktop only is the first step. You see, with an application like that you don’t wanna restrict yourself to your desktop. Provided that they can seamlessly incorporate BumpTop into your Windows there’s one place I’d like to see it: It would be way cool if they managed to integrate the software into the Windows Explorer. I can almost see it in front of me – on the left hand you have your usual tree-view and on the right hand you got BumpTop featuring a 3D view and all the aforementioned features. That would be awesome. I hope they think of something like that.

Thanks for the article! Explorer integration is a great idea and we have a pretty slick solution to this in our BumpTop beta. Stay tuned.
I sure will. Thanks for the info, I can’t wait to check it out
