Summary
I start my day by checking Gmail on my nearest device and fire up my Chromebook for a conference call. I use Google’s Chrome, which connects through its public DNS servers, to reach Gmail. During the meeting, I join via the Google Hangouts link in our Calendar invite and we update a Google Doc on Google Drive with notes. I inform my team that we just uploaded the next version of our web app, built in Go, to Google App Engine, while considering a future update to Dart for the client side. We’ve integrated Google Checkout for easy conversion tracking with Google Analytics, aiming to rank well on Google Search as we promote on our G+ page and share a popular YouTube demo video. If things go well, there’s a chance Google might acquire us.

First thing in the morning, I check my gmail on my Google Nexus 7 tablet, or my Nexus 4 phone, whichever is nearest. I have a conference call so I fire up my Chromebook. Google’s browser, Chrome, uses Google’s public DNS servers (8.8.8.8) and Google network’s protocol (SPDY), to connect to gmail.

In the Google Calendar invite, I click the Google Hangouts link and video conference. I’m lucky to live in Kansas City, with it’s super-fast Google Fiber internet connection. We update a Google Doc, stored on Google Drive, with notes during the meeting.

I tell the team that the next version of our web app, written in Go (Google’s server language) was just uploaded onto Google App Engine (their app hosting platform). The client side is in Javascript, but we might update it to use Dart (Google’s client-side language), when that’s ready.

We’ve already got Google Checkout payment integrated, which makes measuring our Google Ads conversions with Google Analytics easy. We’re hoping to rank highly in Google Search, or no-one will find us. We’ve just started promoting it on our G+ page (we migrated from Blogger), and our Youtube demo video seemed popular.

Who knows, if the product goes really well, Google might acquire us.


It’s just a silly story. Move along. :-)
