The long awaited version of Firefox(3) is now in full swing on the web and boy is it making waves, especially with me (Antonio). I have to admit here openly that I have been an internet explorer fan up until now. Yes, I know what you’re thinking…How could you? Well in my eyes, it has to do with typography. You see although I’m really starting to like what I see with Firefox and especially version 3 now you can’t help but notice the choppy crappy fonts of this browser. IE7 displays in my opinion the best fonts, very clear and not choppy. Safari my 3rd favourite browser displays fonts way too bold. Well enough about the other browsers this is about Firefox 3.

Today I installed a few very cool plugins or addons as they are know and wow! All I have to say is that it truely does change how you view and surf through the web. My hat goes off to the good people at Mozilla. Good job and keep it up. Users all over the globe are gobbling it up. It’s virtually almost now head to head with IE7 and it will be no time before it is the #1 browser. I’ll discuss a bit more once I get myself a bit more familiar with this new bad boy…

Web 2.0 and collaboration web tools have exploded onto the web and users are thirsty for this type of “cloud computing”. Yup, you heard it cloud computing is at least what Google is referring to these days to their very powerful Google Aps system. The suite that contains Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Google Talk and sites. Google Aps allows you and your company to have a custom email address, tools for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations, a shared calendering system and access to a flexible intranet system, as well as standalone security and compiance serviecs are also available. 

Today’s users are on the move, mobile computing is on the rise and users are getting tired of their hands being tied. Google is leading the charge and most recently have teamed up with even Salesforce.com to offer an amazing integrated solution which yours truely is currently testing out.

Let you know how that goes. Well, that’s it for now on this subject. I’ll touch on this in another post.
