Google’s new browser proves the power of the brand: it has received instant attention and was in short-order downloaded over one million times. Plus the blogosphere’s been buzzing with a mix of browser reviews and discussions about Google’s business strategy.
But is Chrome a good browser? It installs and loads quickly, but there’s nothing there to give me that WOW factor. But maybe that doesn’t matter–at least for now. Google’s accomplished key business goals already with Chrome: 1) media attention; 2) user interest; 3) a new platform for innovation for both Google products and other applications. That seems like a pretty good week to me.

I recently uploaded all my bookmarks onto Delicious, which lets me multi-tag items so I can find my Library Resources page whether my brain is processing “reference” or “business.” (Of course, just because it’s online doesn’t mean you shouldn’t back up the data.)
The ability to access all my bookmarks from any computer is a useful tool. But what I really like is the option to add notes to an entry. This morning I set up a “prospects” tag. Every time I read about a company that looks interesting, I can not only Google it and tag the Web site, but I can include brief comments about where I heard about the company, any potential contacts, and other relevant data. Plus just having a prospects folder reminds me that I need to follow up.
