Bump­Top – A Step in the Right Direction?

February 14th, 2008 Leave a comment

    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. :)
