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?

She has written an incredible report which, with the help of other industry contributors, has really turned into a valuable piece.

Just flew into London last night. A long flight brought us safely to a cold London. Cold compared to the beautiful summer days of Cape Town we have just left.
Quite an exciting trip for us at AlterSage as we’re planning on visiting our clients located in and around London whilst we are here.
In addition we are also eager to meet up with new individuals and agencies looking to learn more about our services, potential outsource purposes and new opportunities. We have proven global experience in just about every facet of online marketing for a wide range of industries. Three of the additional benefits of working with us is of course the significant reduction on cost based on our location and exchange rate; English; and similar time zones!
It’s going to be a busy 10 days to fit our ambitious plans into - but we are really looking forward to this. We’re definitely also throwing in some sight-seeing must-do’s and visits to friends in between.
Travelling with me is my hubby, Joey - champion of FormFunction - a digital consultancy specialising in web and mobile application development with a strong focus on web 2.0 and social media applications. With Social Media Applications really being a hot-topic (yes, still!) Joey has great insights to bring to meet-ups too!
If you are in the abouts or wish to meet-up with us over coffee (or tea ), we welcome the opportunity. We are in London from today until Thursday the 28th before we head further afield. Please contact me directly at christine [at] altersage [dot] com or skype on “altersage”.
