Google Chrome - Yes, it’s good but…

Posted in Technology at 10:57 pm by adrianhall

I’ve downloaded and tested it, and I like it. It won’t get me off Firefox yet because I’m so hooked on my plug-ins, and actually the thing I least like about Chrome is that I wish Mozilla had built it.

When Google was born, it was a white page with a search box, and little more. That was the reason it first one favour with geeks and then more normal people. Now Google is competing to be the world’s biggest ad agency, and tomorrow wants to be the new Microsoft. It’s a fantastic business that barely puts a foot wrong. But the net, just like the high street, is losing its diversity, and that is very boring, very dull.

The UK’s high street has M&S, Boots and Tesco. Tesco does everything. It wants to be your supermarket, your corner shop, your petrol station and your tailor. Here in Spain everthing is sold by El Corte Ingles, who also want to be all things to everyone.

I am not so much in a hurry that I want a one-stop shop for everything. I want variation and niche specialists like Mozilla. I don’t want another Tesco.

They don’t just want to launch another browser, they want to change the world. Just like Jesus.

Fake follows

Posted in Technology at 9:45 am by adrianhall

I haven’t yet tried friendfeed (perhaps a web 2.0 many) but I’m now planning on starting an account with as many fake follows as I can muster.

Sidebar Widgets

Posted in Business, Technology at 12:27 pm by adrianhall

I’ve been mucking around with sidebar widgets. They look great in principal, but I had them disperse my content all over the page and then, when I tried to correct, give me a PHP error.

Ho humm. Time to start again.
