Incredible StartPage

Wouldn't you like an "Incredible Start" every time you opened up a browser?

I attended a couple of sessions at my technology conference last week by a gal that is a professional presenter.  She raved about Google Chrome and all of the great plug ins that it has.  So...needless to say, I am now a believer.  You will need to create a google account if you don't already have one.  After that, you can go to the Chrome Web Store and find all kinds of goodies.  A quick and easy plug in with high impact to me is Incredible StartPage.  After installing the plug in, this is what my home page looks like:


I was given the option to import all of my bookmarks from Safari, customize my theme, and write on the sticky note!  A neat feature is that it keeps a list of my recently closed sites, so I can revisit something that I may have accidentally closed or forgot to bookmark!  And, if you are on a different computer, after you log into Google, your Incredible StartPage should follow you!

You will probably need to install Google Chrome on your laptop.  After you install it, visit the Chrome Webstore to search for and download the Incredible StartPage plugin.  The sleek format of this plug in makes me happy each time I launch Chrome!
