Google Chrome or Fav 2.0 ?

Razvan Girmacea — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:33:01 +0000

Google launched a new web browser: Chrome. When I tested it, I got scared because of the good new tab feature with most visited webpages easily accesible. I thought I was doomed with my fav20 project. But lets see what diffrences make fav20 still better then chrome:

Fav20 …

isn’t browser depandable - can run on any browser, even on mobile
doesn’t require instalation (plugin or program/new browser)
You can have your favorite websites anywhere using the account, even tho you don’t need a fav20 account to use fav20.
You can add/manage your most visited websites as you please, sort them, color them.
You can launch most visited websites with one click !

I recommend Chrome as a web browser, but fav20 is still a lot better as a homepage.

Razvan Girmacea — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:20:37 +0000

I tried for one of my website an article submition service from submitedge and directory submition service from world-click.

Results:

Submition service results

I am not happy for the results ( 150 directories and 100 article submitions ), so I won’t use it, but very good to know. You had good results ?

LinkedIn DirectAds Results

Because I trust LinkedIn, I started a small advertising campaign for fav20 with DirectAds.

Fav 2.0 Ad

The results was 1682 2500 impressions for 25$ and 0 1 clicks in 8 days. So I don’t know what to think, but I didn’t expect much, considering fav20.com beeing something new.

First time on fav20?

First time on fav20

If you are for the first time on fav20, I added a tooltip on top that lets you open a window to learn how to use it.

I think this will come in handy because most of the first time visits don’t know what is and how to use fav20.

First time on fav20 info window

You can always open the info window from the icon on fav20.

Review bookmark services

Razvan Girmacea — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:48:06 +0000

I asked a lot of people what bookmark services are they using. Most of them are:

FireFox Speed Dial Plugin
Opera (has a speed dial)
iGoogle
and I made Fav20 - why ? read bellow

All of them have pluses and minuses.

FireFox SpeedDial Plugin
+highly customizable, -browser dependable, -requires instalation

Opera
-limited(9 sites), -browser dependable, -requires instalation

iGoogle
+categories,+rss,-registration

Fav20
+no install and no registration required

Everybody can use any of the bookmark services above, most tech people will use FireFox plugin, but avarage user can find fav20 very simple to use and may love it, specialy now that he can move all his local saved pages to his account to access from any computer.

What bookmark service do you use and why ?

Bookmarklet update

Razvan Girmacea — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:41:49 +0000

You can now drag the Add to Fav20 bookmarklet to you Firefox Toolbar (or Right click -> add to favorites in Internet Explorer) to faster add the website you are viewing, without leaving your current page.

You can find the bookmarklet on footer of fav20.

Browser: How to change homepage

Razvan Girmacea — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 20:23:50 +0000

If you want to change your browser, it usualy depends if you are using Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera or other, but usualy it can be found on: Tools -> Options (Internet options) -> Main (General Tab).

You can set there any homepage you like. New browsers (FF2,3 + IE7) support more than one homepage (that will open in new tabs).

A hint is for you to try http://www.fav20.com as your homepage.
