The company I work for uses Google Apps. Gmail, mostly, but also Drive, Sites, and Hangouts. Hangouts default to opening a sub window above your gmail window. That is a little annoying as you only get a notification in the task bar. If you have another tab on top, you don’t know some one is sending you a message. Someone at work suggested using a Chrome Add On that pulls Hangouts into it’s own window, which also pops up when you get a message. Win, thinks me.
Since then I have been all about extending Chrome. I put the Hangouts app on my home computer as well as work. I’ve also got a download helper, and a Gmail notifier. Cool. I have now set to finding anything else that might be even the slightest bit cool. Forexample, I am writing this post using an Add On called ScribeFire. It’s pretty cool. I am also hoping to go all crazy on greasemonkey scripts that will extend Flickr.
I’ll let you know how it all works out.
