So as you know, I’m a google trusted tester for Google Buzz. So I can’t really talk about Buzz. But I can talk about other items of interest about Google products and services.
As most GMail users and Gapp (Google Apps) users are aware, Google recently deployed Priority Inbox. Nifty little filter and I like the idea that it gets smarter, much like the spam filters get smarter with more data. So I think its a great feature. Just a tad bit late.
I signed up to become a Google Trusted Tester after seeing this post on Buzz. Much to my surprise, I was actually chosen as a tester.
I posted a tweet today that suggest that Social Wok had problems. Social Wok replied to my tweet asking for more information. Now that’s the way to follow up! Take note of that folks. Responding to complaints is a good thing as I went the extra mile to grab some screenshots(see below) and am creating this post. If they hadn’t responded I probably would have removed Social Wok and just moved on.
update: And they wouldn’t have fixed it already making their product better, this user happy with them, and all that before I could even finish this post (granted there’s a lot of fluff in this post).
So Lev Gonick has started an effort to get Google to choose Cleveland and/or Northeast Ohio for its Google Fiber for Communities. I of course followed the twitter account Lev created for this purpose — Google1Gig4CLE. Lev has been very active in bringing broadband and it’s benefits to Cleveland, with OneCommunity and the effort around University Circle and Case University.
My question for Lev is this — what’s the plan?
Beta for Google Chrome is released. Cute little graphical novel-like announcement: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/w00t.html
w00t indeed.
Of course, I’ve been running the “developer” version for several months. It’ll be interesting to see what the difference is. So far the only issue I have really had is no audio on videos, YouTube or otherwise. Granted there have “blips” of issues, but nothing major.
google, google chrome
