Gone Google Chrome

Well its official. I am a leader. Like it or not and I better be careful.

I am a long time hater of everything Google. Why? They are just all-too-encompassing. It's like the Georgia Bulldogs. I don't know anything about them but as a Georgian, I am sick of the insanity. Most fans never even attended UGA and even more of them have never set foot on campus. Red, dogs, hedges - arghhh.

Google has been the same until the last seven months. I recently founded an online, cutting edge, Bible study tool called WordBloom. Marketers and donors wanted to know who was visiting and what they were doing. Someone mentioned Google Analytics. That was an incredible solution.

Then came Google voice which is now being used in our SOHO church environment to enable virtual and physical office communications at a fraction of the traditional cost. 

One week ago, while testing WordBloom and checking out Google Voice, I found that Chrome had extensions (like our Joomla deployment) for Voice and other tools. I had to give it a try and it was as good as they say. It uses minimal resources, is faster than fast, and incredible. 

So why does going Chrome make me a leader? I just looked over and my circle of workers and friends are trying, installing, and customizing Chrome. The same thing happened when I finally tried a Mac. I am on my third and our church is getting ready to migrate to a Mac network, my family has macs, my friends have macs, and iPads, and iTouches. Whether I want to be or not, I am a leader.

I had better be careful what I choose to do next. Good thing I have great computers and a great new browser!
