Does Google’s new Chrome browser matter? Some people think it does. One of them is Lehman Brothers analyst Douglas Anmuth. In a note sent out on Tuesday, he predicted that Chrome would soon catch up to Firefox in market share: With Firefox having gained approximately 20% percent market share over the past 4 years, we believe Google Chrome could gain 15-20% share within 2 years. A lot of the attention so far has been on ...

There’s a Facebook Connect plugin coming for popular blog platform WordPress, according to AllFacebook’s Nick O’Neill. It will be similar to the plugin that blog rival Six Apart showcased at Facebook’s developer conference in July. But, the WordPress plugin is apparently being developed by Facebook. Meanwhile, both Six Apart and WordPress are also trying to build their own social networks, using commenter data.The WordPress plugin is probably intended in part as a sample for when ...

Me.dium, a social software company, today announced that its Social Search service , the first crowd-powered search engine, will be integrated into Microsoft’s new Windows IE8 Beta 2. Me.dium joins EBay, Facebook, and Yahoo as featured partners for IE8’s Beta 2 launch today. Microsoft has chosen Me.dium as a launch partner because of the unique value it provides to search, and Medium’s ability to help IE8 take the web experience “beyond the page.” Me.dium’s Social ...

IE 8 Beta 2 just came out today, and one of the interesting new features comes in the search bar, in the form of Auto Suggest. We’ve seen these types of suggestions to searches before, most commonly included in toolbars such as the Windows Live Toolbar, but this new feature, built in to IE 8 Beta 2, not only is built in and makes for a seamless experience, but has some great cross Search provider ...

After finally getting the new Internet Explorer 8 beta installed (demands to upgrade Windows, verify Windows, sigh), I spent some time playing with the new search functionality and checking to see if Microsoft was going to try to stack the deck in its favor with the new browser. So far, it remains pretty even handed. Indeed, so far, Microsoft seems kind of lame given that there are some cool search features you're hard pressed to ...

Looking forward to spicing up your Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 installation with social goodness? Me.dium, a self-described social software company, will be standing aside the likes of Facebook, Yahoo, and eBay for Microsoft’s newest browser launch today. Me.dium’s role is essentially to, among other things, deliver a “crowd-powered” discover-share mechanism first touted at Microsoft’s MIX08 conference earlier this year. Indeed, Me.dium is no freshman to IE8 or the broader Web browser market. Mashable’s Kristen ...

Hi! I’m Christian Stockwell, and I’m helping to improve Internet Explorer performance. In the past few months, each of the browser makers has made very similar claims around their performance: “Superior speed and performance”, “The fastest and most powerful Web browser available”, and “The fastest web browser on any platform.” In some fundamental way, I think the likeness of these statements is a by-product of the complexity inherent in performance measurement and analysis. Rather than ...

OAuth, the open authorization protocol standard that will let users give limited access to their data to third party websites without giving away their passwords, crossed an important threshold tonight. All parties involved in building the spec have signed a covenant of non-assertion, meaning that OAuth can now be safely implemented anywhere without concern about Intellectual Property lawsuits. If you think this is too geeky for you - try out the live demo embedded below. ...
