Exactly one month ago Google launched a browser of its own - Chrome. Blogosphere was abuzz for a couple of weeks and the interest still seems to be here to a certain extent (though much less than initially) so I wanted to share with you some results from the first month of operation of Google’s very own browser.
Given the entire buzz that surrounded Google’s browser launch, it is no wonder that everyone was immediately excited about the browser and its [...]

Since everyone seems to be determined to cover Google’s newly-launched Chrome browser on every side, I have decided to join in after I’ve been playing with the browser for a few days and reading literally hundreds of posts about it everywhere. This post is intended to demystify Google’s browser a little and show that some of the hype around it is merely about Google actually launching a browser instead of the innovative approaches implemented in the browser itself - no [...]

The first Web browser to garner mainstream acceptance among the Internet’s earliest users (in the general consumer sector, that is), Netscape Navigator has been slated for final decommissioning come February 1, 2008. The news of the program’s imminent departure was released late last week by its current owner, AOL.
As much as we knew Navigator’s time would come to face permanent retirement, it saddens us a bit that the legendary utility, which once was said to saturate roughly 90% of [...]

Image searching has become somewhat of a staple among search engines. Google began offering it in 2001 followed by Yahoo! and even the image-only search startup Picsearch.
Be that as it may, little improvement has been made since then to the searching process or to the interface with which users must interact. When searching for images using any of the top 3 engines mentioned above, visitors must scan small thumbnails, then click to nagivate to a framed version of the page [...]

According to the creators of Grazr (which came onto the market in March 2006), it is a “free and easy way to gather and organize information from all over the Web. Use our drag and drop editor to collect feeds and links to Web pages, and then share them with others on this site, or place them on your own pages with our free widget.” In addition, it has the ability to read twitters. “The Grazr Twitter Reader is the [...]

In a bid to reach more consumers at a time at which the Internet application appears more and more capable of managing tasks ordinarily best performed by desktop-based utilities, Napster plans to abandon its current distribution model for one entirely Web-based. The move will allow both active and any future Napster users to play music obtained through the service - which will continue to operate via a subscription system - from any computer with a broadband connection and open [...]

Google Apps has been far more successful than Microsoft could have imagined, which I am sure is why their reaction to Google's enterprise agenda was less than impressive.
Now, Microsoft seems to have realized the benefits of the web, finally bringing its Office Suite online with Office Live Workspace, which is currently running in beta to a limited number of people.
With Google Apps, Zimbra (recently purchased by Yahoo!), and Zoho having already built an online following, is it too late for [...]

DivX, a growing video compression software company, has announced that it has signed a two-year deal with Yahoo! that replaces a previous similar agreement DivX had with Google, according to Tom Huntington, a spokesperson for DivX.
As the terms of the contract state, DivX software will now be offered with a co-branded Yahoo Toolbar and a version of IE7 pre-configured with Yahoo tools. Yahoo!, in exchange, will now provide links to DivX and its online video service, Stage6, within the [...]

It is my usual pleasure to report on the startups I am particularly fond of. That is why today I will share with you exciting news from YooRL, the web service that permits you to create a special link from any URL and share it with your friends by any means whatsoever to further track how the link propagates on the world map. The small Russian startup provides a totally new way to deal with how you share the links. [...]
