Gmail.com Themes…

Yesterday as I was checking my Google Reader account I saw a post that showed the new Gmail Themes.  I immediately went to my Gmail account to see if I had the themes option enabled yet and sure enough there was a banner at the top of the page letting me know that I could change the theme for my Gmail page.  The first theme that I tried was the ‘Terminal’ theme and I think this is a great add-on that allows people to customize their Gmail.

Here are some screen shots of the Terminal theme as well as the other themes that are available at this time.

Please leave a comment of what you think of the new Gmail Themes feature.

Google Chrome...

I have been using Google's browser called 'Chrome' since Oct. 13 and I find my self using it on a daily basis now.   If you track the software that I use on Wakoopa then you already know this.

Chrome seems to be even a little faster then IE 7 or Firefox and definitely has some features that put it ahead of the competition in my mind.  I like the fact that the web pages that I visit most often are right on the home screen when I launch the browser and the instant search built into the URL line.  The one other feature that I enjoy tremendously is the ability to grab a tab and move it to a new standalone browser window and then if I want I can drag-n-drop the tab back into another browser window.

What do you think of the Google Chrome browser?
