Google Chrome and the Web Store

Since upgrading my Google Chrome browser after Windows 7 crash about a month ago, I find myself using the rather excellent Google  Web Store  more and more often.
The first time it appears it looks like the image below when opening browser page, assuming you have not book marked another page as your 'home' page
When coming across it for the the first time you don't really know what's behind it. Like a lot of things 'Google', there's no real instructions or indication as to what exactly one will find in this "Web Store". And, again typically Google, it's only after a while that you realise that there are in fact a number of parts or sections to the Web Store.
There are the Apps, the Extensions and The Themes.
No real need to explain what can be found in each section, as the titles say it all.  a better way is to present a screen shot of apps from the store that I am currently have access to in my opening browser screen.
The screen shot at the end of this post was taken using FireShot, an extension available in the Web Store.
I am using regularly:
  • CirdBee - an easy to use Small Business Invoicing app.
  • The Amazing Salon.com reader app.
  • And those games - really good especially "Entanglement" which is off the screen capture.


Check out the store, as they say...
