chrome-birthday

Happy Birthday Google Chrome! Exactly an year ago, Google announced the launch of its web-browser, Chrome! And since then we have discussed about the browser wars and the impact of Google Chrome on the browser industry on a consistent basis. When we tried making sense out of the numbers and stats last year, many believed its way too early to judge the browser-kid. And then, we had a look again during April 2009 on where each browser stand. I believe its the right time to have a re-look at the numbers now, when Google Chrome is 1 year old.

Google Chrome Stats - Straight from Google

I have a quick and a sweet announcement to make. Technically Personal is now included as an AllTop feed under Top Tech News! This is quite special since we will be sharing the space with some high profile Technology blogs like TechCrunch, Mashable, RWW, PC World, Lifehacker and others.

alltop-tech-news

You would need to scroll way down to the bottom to find the TechPP feed (since it was added just yesterday). For the uninitiated, AllTop is a popular aggregator of RSS feeds and a brain child of Guy Kawasaki. He describes AllTop as "an 'online magazine rack' that displays the news from the top publications and blogs." I am not such a big fan of AllTop. This is because I believe it is there to help all those moms and dads and grandmas and not really for geeks like me. It is a simple app which does what it is meant to do quite convincingly. The minimalist design also works very well, as it ensures that the user focuses on finding stories as opposed to how pretty the site is. Let's just enjoy this sweet moment at a time when...
