Google Chrome Vs Opera Vs Potato

As a mindspace type ad Google put-together an odd advert called Chrome Vs Potato (see below), funny, but one does have to wonder what that has to do with performance benchmarking.

The Pink Panther:The Pink Phink

Social Is Social Again

AudioBoo is the new newweb2.0/wiki/facebook/youtube/twitter revolution we have all been waiting for apparently. This fascination with the one social site to rule them all thing is kind of silly. The truth is that now and in the future content on the internet is going to come more from users than professional content producers like paid performers. And indeed putting yourself online is nolonger extraordinary, but a normal social activity, hay! look at my video! my music! my rant!

Social media is just another medium for communication, and it is here to stay. Now can we please stop calling every new social media site revolutionary and get on with life!?
