Twitter is a
microblogging and social networking website. Tweets are limited
to 140 characters and may include links to other sites. Twitter

March 2006. It was launched as a public service in July 2006, and
became its own company in April 2007. Rapid growth saw users post
hundreds of thousands of tweets in 2007, hundreds of millions of
tweets in 2008, and billions in 2009. This month, Twitter
users are currently posting 50 million tweets per day...

Google Chrome Web Browser
Yesterday, Google
released details of its web browser project: Google
Chrome. Rather than the usual press release,
Google sent out a Comic Book by artist Scott McCloud, featuring
Google staff explaining the features and development of the web
browser. Google Chrome is an open
source project: built using Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox
rendering engines, and includes a brand new Javascript engine and
Google
Gears. Further details were published at the Official Google Blog, revealing the BETA
version of the browser would be available today. First
impressions: Google Chrome's default
homepage neatly presents you with thumbnails of your most visited
/ bookmarked web pages, along with a list of your most recently
closed pages. The interface is minimalistic and the handling of
tabs for browsing multiple sites is very slick. It is fast, even
when simultaneously loading multiple pages. We're surprised it
does not display image ALT text. And, you should note that the
browser collects usage data and sends it back to Google, but it
is easy to turn this off: go to Options > Under The Bonnet and
untick the box. It's going to be interesting to see how Chrome
develops and how much of an impact Google's browser will have on
the usage statistics of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari,
Opera, etc...

Google Insights for Search
Today, Google has launched a new search statistics
service: providing "more flexibility and functionality
for advertisers and marketers to understand search
behavior". Similar to Google Trends, the
new service: Google Insights for
Search delivers data on search volume over a
period of time, allows you to compare several search terms, and
provides regional search statistics. Both services present search
volume graphs, but Google Insights for
Search also provides regional search
volume data in a world "heat map", and gives information on the
top related and rising searches for the search terms entered. Not
sure why these new features were not just added to Google Trends, but
both services offer a lot of valuable data useful for research,
targeting and optimization. See Insights for Search Help for more information,
videos and other resources...

SpaceTime 3D Web Browser
SpaceTime
today announced
the public release of its free 3D Web Browser at the
International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The
SpaceTime
application allows
users to search and browse the web, with 3D browser windows
floating in an unlimited virtual space which you can navigate
through (you really need to see it in action). With several bugs
eliminated during BETA testing last year, the latest version
of SpaceTime
is an impressive
web interface, though still noticeably slower than a standard
"2D" browser due to all the extra graphics rendering
required. SpaceTime
may not be your
first choice for everyday use, but it is a very innovative and
slickly presented web browser, and also perfect for displaying
web pages during a presentation...
