Mashable presents "20+ Mac Apps to Increase Your Productivity." On the list is the Propane/Campfire combo:
Propane ($20) — 37Signals’ Campfire is a great way for groups to communicate. Think of it as an always-on chatroom, with the ability to share files, search through transcripts, create sub-rooms and directly address users. It’s fantastic, and like all 37Signals apps, designed to run in the browser.However, if you are a heavy Campfire user, you know that sometimes the browser option isn’t always best. You’re forced to dedicate a certain size of a window to Campfire, you have to always have a browser window open (which can be bad when installing apps that insist all browsers be closed — I’m looking at you Adobe!), plus if your browser crashes, your Campfire session goes with it and you have to re-login.
For any Mac user who uses Campfire on a daily basis, I highly recommend Propane. More than just a single-site browser, it’s a well designed app that makes searching, adding in files, viewing files and using Campfire a joy. You can set your Growl settings for certain alerts or extended alerts, you can drag and drop images or videos directly from Safari into Propane and adding other files is just as easy.
