Chrome Sucks

I recently downloaded Chrome and found that it was certainly good in speed, simplicity and ease of use. Google has made a good publicity on this for sure.

However, I would like to point out some of the lacunaes in what I saw in Chrome.

1. You can certainly not get the best of results, I mean, the WYSIWYG effect. Try looking up for a website from Yahoo! or MSN and you will see that its not displayed in the best of resolution.

2. Okay, this one is really annoying. You cannot find the menu anywhere. Its tucked away in a corner, yes - there are 2 icons for it. But well...

3. I am an Internet Marketer. I was Google-ing on some keywords for an anti aging product to look up the rankings manually. What I found was that Chrome stopped me abruptly. Chrome thought I was spamming or being a spammer. Now, isn't that crazy?

4. Another fact is - Chrome (I think) made itself look too clumsy. Used to get hung all the time. No wonder, I ultimately decided to get done away with it.

5. This is the most recent of the update I have with me (as on August 10th), is that, Google has an app (drag n drop documents from the desktop) which necessarily needs Chrome. Duh!

6. September 23rd. Okay I am post the 9/11 euphoria (there was never any euphoria, but anyways), and I reloaded Chrome (again?) as against what I mentioned in #4. One fact is - you cannot find the page rank and any other stuff like that here. The ironic part is Google Toolbar itself is not available for Chrome. Wow!

(Will add some more such experiences as I get them)

Want Traffic? Try Facebook

Here are some good tips on how you can get traffic from the very own Facebook. Yes, Facebook.

This article explains you why is it important not just to get your profile right, but also have a group, perhaps create some of your own extensions (this is for the nerdy ones) and yeah, just keep posting stuff you like (or dont like).

Twitter like application for you.

Its but a known fact that Twitter has been the best micro-blogging website so far (or it has claimed its way to the top, must I say?)...anyways, here are some nice apps - very similar to Twitter or even better than it - as they say. 

Read this article and you will know what I mean. 

Well, who said Twitter tweets?
