Google Chrome: The Ideal Browser for Bloggers and Content Authors?
For all bloggers and content authors there’s nothing more annoying than a browser’s crash just before you were about to hit the ‘submit’ or ‘publish’ button into a blogging or CMS system. With many platforms still lacking an auto-save built-in functionality this can be disastrous. It is not only the waste of time but also the overall frustration and distrust to technology that is being entailed.
Losing a piece of unique content of 1000+ words is something that shouldn’t happen under any circumstances. I still can’t believe that after 15-20 years of browser’s evolution users are still experiencing data loss. It makes me think Lynx and the first Mosaic were more stable than Internet Explo(d)er 8 or even Firefox 3.
Unarguably, quite many content authors still use Interner Explorer, not really because they are happy with it but because it is pre-installed. Others, seem to use it out of habit as they’re reluctant trying out an alternative. And there are so many alternatives that one would really get frustrated trying out Chrome, Firefox, Opera etc.

3 Key Features to Blog from a Smart Phone
When idaconcpts.com started back in 2008 (side note: we’re past the 2nd year mark! The first blog post of idaconcpts.com was on August 6, 2008).
Since the beginning of idaconcpts.com, I was really excited about sharing my insights on marketing and web analytics with the blogosphere. Once I started getting a bit of reader traction, I started wondering whether I could blog on the go. Back then I spent a lot of time commuting back and forth between work, school, and home; so it would made sense that I could draft up some articles on the go.
My blog was hosted at WordPress.com and I had just bought my first Macbook Pro and iPhone 3G so I downloaded the WordPress iPhone app and gave it a try. Unfortunately, this experience was not that good and I only did one very small post that was just titled “Test from iPhone” that included a 10-word sentence and one photo. After that I decided not to continue blogging from my iPhone.
However, after watching the launch of the Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint on August 2010, it made me rethink about the 3 key features that I would need to blog from a smart phone more often.
