Sometimes I feel (and sound) like I have a “hard-on” (figuratively speaking) for Google.  I gush about Chrome, well because I do really favor it as my current “flavor of browser” right now although I am known to take booty calls from my ex, Firefox.  And IE, Internet Explorer, is like my ex-husband, I just want to run it over with a Range Rover and unfortunately I just can’t get away from and I still have to deal with IE constantly when designing.

I am very excited about the potential of Google’s OS and even though I haven’t made the jump to Windows 7 (I cower like a puppy that’s been beaten when thinking about new Windows releases), I have been hearing good things (read “Windows 7 Reaches 10 Perfect Market Share“).

Spotted on the Chronium site are concept images of a potential Google Tablet.

I love when you want to do something, you do a search and bam…there you go, the answer.

I have mutiple google accounts to manage all kinds of things from google voice to analytics to rss feeds, etc.  An issue would be logging in and out of accounts when using the same browser.  I would have Firefox, Chrome, Safari and (eeek yuk) ie open with different google accounts logged in so I would get booted off of a particular one when logging into another.

Found this article, “Use Multiple Google Accounts Simultaneously in One Browser With Google Chrome”  that made me remember the “incognito browsing” in Chrome or Private Browsing in Firefox.  Just open another window in that mode and voila, you can log in and stay logged in.  The other area this would be good for is when I’m editing CMS sites so that I can make sure that I’ve edited permissions correctly for anonymous users.

I’m happy.  Really diggin Chrome.

I’ve been waiting for Google Chrome to offer extensions and finally there is Google Chrome Beta that does.

The extensions that I’ve installed so far are:

bit.ly sidebar to use to posts to twitter from the web

Chromed Bird – another Twitter tool to follow timelines and interact with your Twitter Account

Feedly – which organizes your favorite souces in a magazine-like start page.  I really like this because igoogle wasn’t exactly my favorite and I never used it unless I was going to read my feeds

Google Tasks – a toolbar extension that allows you to quickly add tasks (like I don’t have enough lists going already)

Zemanta, that adds a nice sidebar to your posting screen when blogging to assist with content.  You can update your preferences and it will add a “my sources” to your sidebar based on your subscription, etc.
