Whatever browser you currently use, you are going to keep using.
Forget about Google Chrome. It will not add any meaning to your life, much less to your day to day internet browsing. For now anyways. Its a shell, a nice chassis. Wait for the development crowd to spend some time and add their special sauce. Read the rest of this entry ?
Is Google trying to tease Microsoft or just blatantly slap them across the face? The new Chrome browser, that we will here more about tomorrow, shares its name with a failed Microsoft product from 1998. I can’t imagine Read the rest of this entry ?
What could top internet browser news on the same weekend that Google and Firefox agreed to extend their contract (accounting for over 80% of Firefox’s income streams)?
Google Blogoscoped announced that Google itself is coming out with a new type of internet browser, entitled Chrome. It will be completely open source and promising some exciting new features.
The announcement was made with a comic book produced by Google and sent out to industry folks. And here is an official post from the Google Blog.They plan to release more details tomorrow, but for now, here are the high points:
“So why are we launching Google Chrome? Because we believe we can add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web.” - Google
“We want browsers to find that sweet spot between too many features and too few, with a clean, simple, and efficient user experience.” -Google
Should be a kick in the butt for Microsoft and Mozilla to step things up for their Internet Explorer and Firefox offerings. Internet Explorer enjoys dominance of the browser market because it is shipped with every Windows machine. However, Firefox and Safari (by Apple) have been slowly gaining ground on IE. And any web developer will tell you IE is the devil. Bottom line is, Google’s new Chrome, if it is as clean and successful as most Google offerings are, should change the game completely. It will mean nothing but good things for the consumer and the open source movement as a whole.

As we build out the initial character of The Stratius Blog, I am going through the motions of some simple internet marketing steps that I always put in place when launching a blog or website.
These steps are the easy ones, the free or very cheap ones that anyone can do to take care of initial design, SEO, and Social Media efforts. These steps can go a long way, over the course of a couple weeks, towards giving you some good initial traffic. Make sure your content is good and they will keep coming back.
