Google Professional Advertising Seminar

pinje — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:13:15 +0000

Today I went to the Google Advertising Seminar in Manchester. Was looking forward to attending and found it to be very useful as hopefully later in the week I shall take the Ad-words exam.

The seminar lasted just over 2 hours but the two presenting did a very good job at keeping everyone awake by throwing in random tests and giving out prizes… and I’m happy to say I did win a prize!

And I now own a Google pen, Google pad and Google football to go along with my Google bag…

Google Chrome – 2 months in

From my earlier entry I was quite excited to start using Chrome and downloaded it immediately when it became available.

My first impressions were good, I liked the minimulistic design and how quick it seemed to be and was quite fun to use, but this was proabably a “new toy” sort of reaction. It didn’t take long before I was back to my firm favorite Firefox. Maybe I am just a creature of habit and am so used to firefox now it would take something extrodinary to prise my grip away from it (the same with Google “… who needs a different search engine?”).

I did have high hopes for Chrome, especially after reading through the many pages of the Chrome comic. I did think it could be a Firefox beater, and a few days after the release the usage figures were good with almost a 2% usage of all internet traffic.

Unfortunately it seemed I and a lot more people got a bit bored of Chrome and returned to their browser of choice as the numbers fell.

Chrome isn’t bad for a product which is still firmly in a beta stage, although Google do seem to be taking there time releasing a Mac version, which, now since I use a Mac in everyday life, is something I would like to test.

To conclude, Chrome isn’t bad, after all it is still in beta, the mac version hasn’t been released and we havn’t seen the plug-ins to their full extent yet, at least not to a firefox standard… but it has had a head start.

Google Chrome

Currently waiting for the release of the Google browser – chrome, which is planned for sometime today. Frequently refreshing of the blog page at the moment (even though I have a ticker running across the bottom of my browser…). It does sound very promising but it does ask the all important question…

will it better firefox?

Right now I kinda want to say yes because of the features and the way it works, but firefox does have alot of useful plug-ins. It may all depend just how quickly developers can use the open source Chrome to develop plug-ins for it.

You can read all about Chrome in a 30 page, and very well drawn, comic featuring the people who worked on it, here
