I’ve been a Firefox browser user since 2009, and I have always thought that it is a good product. Well, not until the day I switched from Hotmail to Gmail.
Last Summer, my hotmail account was hacked, and I was unable to retrieve it. I did think of switching to Gmail before since I saw it being advertised online all the time and many of my friends recommended it to me. However, due to the large amount of contacts that I had on my Hotmail account, I tolerated the low speed of Hotmail service. I decided that it’s finally the time to make a change.
I find Gmail to be much faster and that’s what I value the most. Also, the interface is much more concise and well-organized.

Here’s a quote I found from “http://www.squidoo.com/gmail-vs-hotmail” :
“Dee says:
If your Hotmail account has been hacked, Hotmail does not have my vote for better. I have lost all contacts and lots of photos I wanted to keep. I have tried everything to get access to my account and nothing works. So my vote will have to be Gmail. Plan on setting up account today.

That is exactly what happened to me! I lost a lot of valuable information and many contacts after my Hotmail account got hacked.
There are also some other awesome features like Google Docs (helped me in many team projects) and Google calling (works as a version of Skype to me).

Starting from the first day I logged on to Gmail through Firefox, one sentence caught my eye. It indicated that the browser I was using may cause some of the information to not be fully loaded. Furthermore, Gmail always suggested me to try their own product, “Google Chrome”. Not surprisingly, I switched again.

Right now I am blogging through Google Chrome. Google converted me without much effort through their undeniably superior marketing and products.
That is the power of Marketing as felt from my personal experience!
