Google Chrome - A New browser! Who did expect? And its good, really good! This is a revolution on Internet! Today Google stocks had reached 463 dollars, 10 dollar fall since yesterday. I`m almost sure that recent news about Youtube advertisments and this new browser will skyrocket google stocks back to 750 and maybe even more!
Now I need to find a way to buy Google stocks in Latvia..
Google chrome - Is This The Day Mozilla and Iexplore Died??

Update:

I`m just sick of how many new features there are, e.g. check this screenshot for simple stats about google chrome:

Google reveals it`s data to the world. Google External Keyword Tool has been updated to show actualdata - keyword search count during last month and average search amount. And of course it displays Adwords publisher competition. This is definitely the best news for any internet marketer for the last months and should become the most used tool for many SEO people. Here is a screenshot:

Scite is one of the best text editors out there - functional, fast and lightweight! If you write a lot of text that is not in english (read: UTF-8) it becomes pretty annoying as every time you open Scite.exe it defaults to 8-bit character set. To write or see the opened document with UTF8 characters you have to click File > Encoding > UTF-8. While there is no graphical interface for options, you can still change the default encoding manually. Here is how:

• Open Scite, click Options > Open global options file

Most of web users have noticed one of the most useful tools on the web - Netvibes.com . Now it has released its “Ginger” update and offers all users to create their own profile pages. This takes social networking one step further. Now its pretty easy present public information about yourself in one place - all your profiles at myspace, facebook, flickr, youtube, favorite feeds - all in single place. It`s like a new type of personal homepage! Or your digital dynamic CV. No more need for personal domain?

Flickr uploader software “Uploadr 3” is out! As I spend most of the time at work where i`m behind a firewall AND a proxy, first thing I noticed, I couldn`t sign in. Of course I searched for proxy settings, but the software has no settings available until you sign in. Also when you solve the problem, you dont have any proxy settings using the graphical user interface. Here`s how to add/edit proxy settings:

• Close Flickr Uploader (if its open)
• Go to your Flickr Uploadr 3 installation directory and find the configuration file (usually “C:\Programm Files\Flickr Uploadr\defaults\preferences\prefs.js” )

I`m pretty married to Netvibes by using it everyday. Mainly I use it for tracking RSS news, RSS music releases and “notepads” for saving rly various stuff.
Today I logged in and half of my items were lost. “Mail tab” was completely empty, about 40% of RSS items were left. A million thoughts crossed my mind! So I searched for support on Netvibes, but the answer was in the FAQ section:

When trying to access your netvibes page and all your tabs are empty, this is due to a desynchronization with our server.

About a year ago Google offered new referral program for Adsense - Firefox with Google Toolbar. If you referred people to download and install a fresh copy of Firefox with Google Toolbar, you would get 1$. There were also scripts like “Internet Explorer killer” that was showing banners to clients with Internet Explorer encouraging them to use Firefox. I`ve earned some bucks with this referral program, but lately I`ve noticed, that earnings have decreased pretty much.

Firefox 2.0 is out! Although not mentioned on www.mozilla.com (webpages still state 1.5 and RC versions), you can get a fresh copy using the link below.
A few extensions I use are not compatible with the new Firefox, but most work okay. The ones that do not work for now:

• Live PageRank
• MinimizeToTray
• del.icio.us buttons
• Quicknote (I have stopped using this in favor of Netvibes Notes, as I use more than one pc)
• SEOpen
• Tab mix plus (almost no need of this anymore

Nice articel/interview about Adobe Flash VoIp capabilities. Sharing camera has been available since Flash MX, but now they are really planning to implement in perfect condition, which will enable social network sites like myspace.com add VoIP and online conferencing features that people just thrive to use while it is new to the world. This just proves once again that Flash will stay here longer and Microsoft can keep their Apollo products in their shelves..

Should I say more? Ok, it`s in beta but it already has at least 7.5million (content from partner library) books. Most I guess are just a preview with links where to buy, but still the preview is nicely done!
