Google Chrome & Twitter Ads
The WWW is alight with mentions of Google Chrome.
Announced yesterday, there has been some speculation that this would eventually be created. That time is now.
Google Chrome beta will launch tomorrow. (link not active yet)
The Google press release mentioned a demo with Q&A session, or go check out the Chrome Introduction webcast here. Available at approximately 7pm 9pm tonight South Africa time.
If the release date posted mostly everywhere is to be believed, Chrome should be available for download. Take a sneak peek at some of the Chrome Screenshots posted earlier today on TechCrunch.
Oh yes, and for those that like to read about it comic book style, check out the Google on Google Chrome Comic Book.
Will I be using Google Chrome? I’ll certainly give it a bash, but it’s too early to say whether I would replace my FireFox 
TechCrunch also posted another newbie service today - TwittAd.com. In a nutshell its Affiliate Marketing for Twitter profile pages. I don’t so much really have a problem with those, as I mostly interact with my Twitter through the Twirl application. However, should those adverts start appearing in people’s feeds, that is going to be the fastest way for me to say goodbye to Twitter on the spot. Examples and page formats for TwittAds are available to choose from for Advertisers. Publishers do at least have a say in which ads appear or don’t, but your background will be fully customized to suit the ad itself. So, who is signing up?

Well after much confusion re time the webcast started at 8pm…I made it
It was really exciting to see it in action, and at 9pm, was able to download Google Chrome. (now available from Google Search Home page too)
So far, looks gets a 5/10, speed 8/10.
Will put this baby to work with my gazillion and one tabs soonest.
Let’s see if it can hold up to FF record
The nice thing is that for any web designers / developers out there, it is not ‘another browser to optimise design for’ apparently it includes a ’standard rendering’, prob same as FF.
