The Official Google Blog (927) permalink
At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries.So why are we launching Google Chrome? ...Shared by [BLT]FQX (60) Aaron (5) aaron (99) Aaron (2) Abhishek (6) Adam (14) Adam Fuhrer (53) Aelle (24) Akeem Williams (11) Alan Dean (32) Alberto (23) Alex (19) Alex (8) Alex France (138) Alexander13 (357) Alexandru Burciu (18) alfred westerveld (24) Amir (8) Amish Schulze (16) Andrew (27) Andrew Girdwood (33) Andrew Hughes (25) Andrew Schott (48) Andrew Terry (25) Andrew Walkingshaw (13) Andrey (4) andy bons (4) Angus (42) ani625 (63) Antoine (27) Antoine van Dinter (6) Anurag (3) Appu (17) Aren Grimshaw (2) atomantic (1) atul (70) azin (7) b (23) Babychen Mathew (264) Ben (4) Berker (6) bkim (2) Bob Hazlett (5) Bob Lee (15) bombox (6) Borchers (8) Brajeshwar (20) Brettsky (3) Brian (22) Brian (26) Brian Auer (20) Brian Daniel Eisenberg (7) Bryan (8) Bryan Hughes (3) C.K.

- Sebastian Werner said: It really seems to be true. Another webkit based browser. It seems that over time Webkit may be more important than Gecko (I vote for this). Adobe AIR, Nokia Nxx, Trolltech Qt, KDE, Apple and now Google Chrome. Hurray.

- Chris said: So many questions! With its whizzy new V8 JS engine, will Google sites (Maps etc) begin to demand Google Chrome for 'premium' features? Will it support the huge library of Mozilla plugins? (No way I can switch camps without Rikaichan for Japanese translation). And can we trust Google not to mine our data to serve ads (well, more than they do already)? Either way, very interesting times ahead!

When we talk to developers, a common topic is the challenge of getting applications in the hands of users.

It looks like Friend Feed is proposing a new update protocol for RSS which avoids the thundering herd problem present with RSS polling.
