Calm After The Storm
Forever & AlwaysWe often think of the 'calm before the storm', but rarely do we recognize or even witness the 'calm after the storm'. This sunset occurred less than an hour after a severe storm, near Otter Falls, MB, that brought down a hundred trees near a cabin we had rented. The clouds became soft like cotton balls (mammatus clouds) and the sky was at peace.
With the sand sliding between our toes, and walking hand in hand, there was no thoughts of #tweets, #likes or #snapchats.

Marketing online is about speed, and the faster your internet browser is the more you can get done. I have downloaded Google’s new browser called Chrome and tested its open speed against Internet Explorer, Safari & Firefox. I will let the numbers speak for themselves, but will add one compliment to Google Chrome in that it is very user friendly, simple, and it is a browser I would recommend to my Grandma!

You haven’t performed a browser speed test, you have performed a network speed test. Unless you were swapping peers or jumping onto different networks, I would be concerned if you -saw- a difference here across multiple browsers.
If you want to perform a browser speed test, you should look at http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html or http://lifehacker.com/396048/speed-testing-the-latest-web-browsers for more information on how to benchmark a browser 🙂
Cheers,
