Google’s New Chrome Browser

Nation….
Google is set to launch its new Open Source browser dubbed CHROME. News of the browser came from and “accidentally” leaked comic book aimed at promoting the new software. They hired famed comic book writer Scott McCloud to author the comic book. A pretty interesting way to introduce a product.

There are a ton of opinions on whether or not the browser will measure up but I gotta admit I am curious. I would consider myself a loyal Google supporter so I hope it really does raise the bar on search. Here is an excerpt from Google’s blog:

A fresh take on the browser

At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit “send” a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. As we believe in access to information for everyone, we’ve now made the comic publicly available — you can find it here. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries.
