When Google released Google Chrome I decided to use it. Dont know why but I liked it. Not only that I use it I also use the dev release. Is it better than IE, Firefox or any other browser out there? Don’t know, but it works well for me. I don’t intend to give a review of Chrome but to point out an interesting observation - Chrome has a feature that shows the 9 most used sites when you open a new tab. I don’t know how its algorithm works but while looking the other day on my top 9 sites, I found the following sites:
1. Google search (of course)
2. Google Reader
3. Google Calendar
4. Google Blogger
5. Facebook (how did it mange to slip in…)
6. Google Groups
7. Google Analytics
8. Google Docs
9. Google Trends
What does it mean?
I’m either a Google addict or Google push their sites to the list. I can believe both… I use at least 5 more Google services/sites which are not on the list.
Gmail was not on the list maybe because I never close it and I have it in my tray as well.
No doubt about it, Google dominates. Is it a good or evil empire? Up to you to decide.
P.S. In the spirit of these days, must be said that empire or not, GOOG got bitten badly this year
