I think I am with you Ollin – not seeing much value on it and I certainly don’t have any time for the time-wasters these days. : ) Thanks for the comment!

I’ve been hearing a lot about this pininterest thing. You know I dont know what to think about it. Already having to deal with Twitter and Facebook is too much for me, so I’ll probably avoid it until I’m forced to use it, haha. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!

Comment on Internet Explorer Loses Browser Share…and Safari Stinks, Right? by Bill Greeves

Hey PJ – thanks for the comment! You mentioned a great reason to use IE. As a matter of fact, I have to use IE for Sharepoint stuff myself. It’ll load in Chrome but formatting is completely borked. I like Chrome because it is fast. It loads fast and it eliminates a lot of extra steps:
1) Your bookmarks sync automatically across multiple devices using your google account
2) The address window is also a google search box so everything is in one spot
3) Adding bookmarks are one touch (in that same box) and done
4) The Most Visited thumbnails on the default homepage make it one one click quick jumping to my most common resources

It has very creative skinability as well. Individually, these are not huge and some of these might even be available in the latest versions of IE. But combined, they make for a better browsing experience, at least for me.

I use IE on my Windoze laptop because two web-based work databases require it. I use Safari on my home iMac because…well, is inertia a reason?

What do you think are the advantages of Chrome over Safari?

(Oh, and on my Droid I use Dolphin, for what that’s worth…)
