Google Chrome - Will Google’s new Browser be Linux Friendly?
Google Chrome. I recently got news that Google is indeed planning to release its own Web Browser. Rumors have been flying around but it seems that this new kid will bring a whole slew of features that will definitely change the Web Browser industry. But will it support the Linux platform?
Google Ad Manager Invitation Email
I just received my Google Ad Manager invitation email and I am very excited about it. For those who are still unfamiliar with what Google Ad Manager is all about, Google Ad Manager is a free service that allows website publishers like ME to manage the Ads/banner inventories on their site. This generally means having advertisements not only Adsense but from other ad networks. It is a direct competitor of OpenX ads management system but the good thing about it is that its a hosted service unlike OpenX which is software that you need to install and maintain on your servers
Google starts indexing Flash media
Google is currently in the process of improving the ability of the Googlebot to index flash media. This is being made possible with the recent announcement of a team up with industry leading search engines to be able improve its search results by including information from flash media. The announcement was made by Adobe in San Jose California.
Through this team up, leading search engines will be able to crawl flash dynamic content and rich internet applications (RIA’s). Working with Adobe, Google has already begun to rall out Adobe Flash Player technology into its search engine results pages and Yahoo will be soon updating with the same concept.
With Google and Yahoo moving into indexing and crawling Flash Media, one just have to think, how will this affect the adoption of Silverlight? My guess is that silverlight will die a slow death as Adobe is effectively stumping on it with the help of leading search engines like Google and Yahoo.
