    Google's stuff seems to work damn well for "betas". Gmail is probably my favorite mail client, though AOL is seriously catching up with FINALLY having a decent AIM Express app built in.


    As soon as this hits for Mac, I'll give it a whirl.

    @Kaiser-Machead: The only reason GMail is "beta" is so that if Google screws up and loses data, it can say that the program is beta and glitches are to expected.


    It has little to nothing with user feedback on bug-finding.

    @kylo4iskyle4: And why should a company invest an inordinate amount of resources to develop for an absolute maximum of 8% of the market and a more realistic maximum of 4% of the market?


    Sorry but you signed onto being part of a walled garden. Enjoy your ecosystem.

    @I'm a PC: What I love about it is that it's also a browser that's pretty much on par with Firefox. Unfortunately, Songbird is also resource hungry if you browse with it.

    @AlexLand: Just saw the post you guys made detailing the changes. Aesthetically I think the site looks better, but I read everything giz posts so it's sort of annoying that I'm going to have to click through all the time like I stated before. How about a classic view option or something?

    I'm thinking Google will quietly optimize Chrome for their other services like Google Apps, providing incentive for large numbers of installed users to migrate. Face it, it's Google world and we're just searching in it.

    I tried Chrome. The only benefit was a very short start-up time. Other than that I found it to be rather lackluster. Barring some fantastic new feature that we aren't expecting, I can't see Chrome beating out IE. Although Chrome would probably be a better default browser than IE, Firefox still has them all beat.


    Firefox ftw!

    @TheShadesOfGrey: Firefox is also a memory hog. Chrome is quick, much like Safari, though feature-wise, is totally like a desert compared to Firefox. :/

    Can't help but think that Google will start to invade the netbook craze with a more robust Android variant meant for larger systems.

    @Parkington feels sick after eating Japanese seaweed potato ...: Ok now thats not cool. As a graduate of an HBCU I can say I was more than estatic when NCAA 200 FINALLY featured my school (Prairie View A&M University). There are more than 500 Black Colleges and Universities and they get no love like major D1 schools... this is totally different. Its a game that recognizes the little know schools (unless you attended). The SWAC and MEAC are not the end all to Black Colleges... neither is Howard, Morehouse, Spelman, or the T-the U, S-K-E, the G double E TUSKEGEE WOOO WOOO WOOO (Did my first year of College there..sorry). So yes we represented ourselves in an arena where no one else would.

    From Blackbird's site:


    "Black search prioritizes sites that focus on African-American content and information enabling you to find content that is typically buried in most search engines. ..."


    How does that help blurring the digital divide?

    Must have been programmed by illiterate white guys who had no idea that "blackbird" was the term for a slave ship.
