Google spits out Chrome

The announcement and the release of the new Chrome web browser by Google today is really important to the web. The Cartoon Story is here. The reason is that this company is doing everything in the web, and depends entirely on the web for its business. Therefore when they develop a browser from scratch, they are obviously going to make all their services part of the browser.

The success of Google, and the trust they have earned, is what makes this software uniquely important. This will enable users to do things in a different way, in a stable, truly multimedia enabled browser. Everything Google has developed here and there, will become "One".

Initially, Chrome will seem like competition to other browsers. But eventually it will be something quite different from what browsers were expected to be. Google would be planning to bring the Mobile web service providing devices into the Chrome scene. They have been developing software for this market too. Chrome may enable the dvelopment of a multitude of wholly different third party software for the Mobile platform. At the moment the "forgotten browser", Opera, is making inroads into the mobile market. If Chrome should also enter the mobile market with the platforms already in development by Google, then definitely we will have "The One".

Google's timing maybe just right. Let us watch.............
