Google introduce Social Network : Google BUZZ
Feb 10th
Google has launched a new social networking tool, Google Buzz. The best things about it is you can use it form your inbox. It’s a twitter kind of service. But you can integrate pictures, videos, etc. in to it very easily. You don’t need open an account for that. It will be available at your Google mail in Buzz tab under the inbox tab. You can also follow people here like twitter. Now this is really a big challenge for twitter to stay in the competition and keep their popularity like before. Because all Google service is more popular than it’s rival’s ones. Google is also planning to spread the service to Google apps users (using Gmail and other in self hosted domains).
See the video:
Read the Gmail blog on “Google Buzz”.
N.B. It’s still not available for all Gmail users.

Jan 27th
The all new Google Chrome 4 is available for downloads. This is the fourth stable version of Google’s own browser Chrome. Google says “Over 1,500 new features for Google Chrome” in it’s blog. But originally there are only 2 ! Google now officially opens extension systems for developers. There are 1500 extensions available , so it’s quiet true that “Over 1,500 new features for Google Chrome”.
Another new thing carried from the beta version is the bookmark sync. Google says “For those of you who use several computers — for example, a laptop at work and a desktop at home — you can now keep your Google Chrome bookmarks synchronized and up-to-date across computers, without needing to manually recreate your bookmarks every time you switch computers.”
With all of these chrome is now better and mightier than before. You can really fell the change if you are using any previous stable versions of Google Chrome.

We are doing this early, a year before Google Chrome OS will be ready for users, because we are eager to engage with partners, the open source community and developers. As with the Google Chrome browser, development will be done in the open from this point on. This means the code is free, accessible to anyone and open for contributions. The Chromium OS project includes our current code base, user interface experiments and some initial designs for ongoing development. This is the initial sketch and we will color it in over the course of the next year.”
