We know a lot of you are big fans of Google Apps and many of you have even begun the process of migrating your internal system to the software.
Up until this point, it didn’t particularly matter which browser you (or your team) used to access all of Google’s tools, but that may be changing.
Especially with Google’s latest feature for Gmail…
Not long ago, Google rolled out the ability to drag files from your desktop to Gmail in order to attach a file. They’ve recently just pushed the compliment to that feature with the ability to click and drag a file from the browser to your desktop.
The catch is that it currently only works in Google Chrome. Still though, it looks like the gap between the browser and the desktop is getting a little more narrow each month.

Chrome it is. I finally got my wife to stop using IE, now I just need her to give up her lame hotmail account.

Thats funny, cause my hubby is trying to get me to ditch hotmail and IE, too. BUt I have some friends who just won’t switch where they send me stuff, plus some subscriptions I am too lazy to switch. And I keep holding onto IE so that I can have my own homepage when I open my browser. Am I lame?
So Chrome is worth it? Maybe if I switch to chrome before my hubby can then it can be my browser and have my home page.

Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are all better browsers than IE especially from an experience perspective. There are a number of web technologies that IE just doesn’t support.
You’d probably see a prettier web in Chrome and it’d be a much faster.
Managing your email is always a personal choice (though sure, we tease about it); however, Gmail has a lot of advantages. I’ve been using it since 2004 and manage everything from with in it.
It also has a built in facility for retrieving email from another account, so if you’re seriously worried about missing email, Gmail can pull messages from Hotmail.
Tom says
LOL at hotmail…
Jim Gray says
