Google Unveils Chrome OS

Google Unveils Chrome OS

A direct challenge to Microsoft, Google today announced a new project that’s an extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. It’s an attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year they will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.

Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. The OS will be designed to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as they did for the Google Chrome browser, Google is going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates.

Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips. Google said it still had work to do to develop Chrome into a full-fledged operating system.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Google Chrome OS.

Top 5 Blogging Tips from Technorati CEO

Filed under: Blogging, Featured, SEM, Social Media — Tags: , , , — SticKer @ 5:38 am

David L. Sifry, founder and CEO of Technorati, keeps tabs on more than 45 million weblogs. So you’d imagine he probably knows what makes a good blog:

1) React quickly. Commentators like Andrew Sullivan and Michelle Malkin draw megatraffic with immediate rebuttals to A-list pundits at The New York Times and Fox News.

2) Make your posts easy to read. Italian comic Beppe Grillo broke into the Top 10 by setting his key points in boldface.

3) Link, link, link! It’s counter-intuitive, but the busiest blogs in Technorati’s index are those like Insta-Pundit.com that link prolifically to other sites. Linking works because most bloggers reciprocate by sending their readers your way.

4) Optimize for search engines. Put the name of your blog (even if it’s just your own name) in the main URL and the title tag of your site. On Technorati, identify your blog with search topics, like “politics” or “sewing.”

5) Post, post, post! Chinese actress and director Xu Jinglei has the most popular blog on the planet. At first we thought it was a glitch in our system, but it turns out she’s a real-world celebrity who makes time to post almost every day. What’s your excuse?
