A brand-spankin’-new browser has just been released by those crafty future-masters-of-the-universe at Google, called simply Google Chrome. I haven’t played with it much yet, but I like the lack of clutter in the toolbar, and there are some other nifty features as well:

- Create desktop shortcuts to your favorite web applications
- Freedom to surf Lolcats or Oprah’s forum ad nauseum without your judgmental roommates finding out, thanks to incognito mode
- A custom starter page that you can use to quickly access favorite sites, ala Opera, the Steve Buscemi of web browsers.

On the downside, on a number of sites, I have had to reload pages after getting a “page cannot be loaded” error, in order to get them to display in the browser. Also, no StumbleUpon toolbar integration…yet. Sad face.

I will post updates as Chrome  and I get more acquainted.

As an update to my previous post, I wanted to follow-up on my complaint that it took forEver to get my login for the EverNote beta (ok, forever was 2 and a half days).  I got my login and have synced my desktop app with my web based notebooks.  EverNote has been great.  I’ve started to organize files and notes I’ve been keeping in several places on several computers. When I ran into a glitch (I was having trouble with the drag and drop functionality) and submitted a bug report, I got an email back pretty quickly.  Geek out here, but I kinda like to troubleshoot bugs on good software.  I like a lot when the software people write back and ask more questions, which the EverNote people did.  And I still am loving the web design.  I heart EverNote…
