The Google Chrome beta is now available at www.google.com/chrome.
I’m taking a look, and will provide impressions, as I did for Internet Explorer 8, later today.
Other information is available from ZDNet, who liveblogged the Google press conference, and from the Google Chrome media kit, which includes screenshots and videos.
You may have already seen notices about this book over at the eGovernment Resource Centre or other places but, in case you’re not aware of it, this is a fantastic read on where Government 2.0 is right now and where it is going. The book is available for free download from 21Gov.net and you can…
My team, in association with our web of content editors, recently completed a major review of the content within our intranet. This has dramatically improved the currency of information throughout the site, with over 90% of the content having been reviewed and updated within the last year, up from slightly over 60% before I took…
I worry sometimes that MySpace and Facebook, despite their phenomenal growth over the last few years, may be actually slowing down the adoption of social networks within organisations. By presenting social networks as largely involving frivolous, time-wasting tools to promote bands, buy and sell people’s photos or exchange virtual gifts, these networks position social networks…
Across April I’m spending a week participating in government-run sessions to contribute to the democratic life of our nation. I’ll spend two days with CSIRO, supporting their startup commercialisation programs, a day with the NSW Department of Transport supporting their deliberations on future transport needs and policies and a day with the Department of Prime…
It is hard for me to believe that I’ve reached 1,000 posts on eGovAU – all talking about Government 2.0 and related topics. That’s well over half a million words I’ve written on the topic in around three years – around 5 decent-sized novels. Now I’m here I’m indulging in the opportunity to look back…

Cute article David.
It reflects one of the laws of the online world – cannibalise your friends before your enemies do!
BTW – my initial experience with Chrome has been good – it’s stable, produces no rendering inconsistencies, reduces memory consumption and makes a mean cappucino.
However I’m not yet convinced that the browser is faster than Firefox 3.0 – for one thing, it’s not red.
Sadly Chrome does not seem to like our CMS. I was planning a whole day in Chrome and it hasn’t panned out at all. I think it’s to do with Java. 🙁
Also, is there anyway you can make your ‘post comment’ link a bit bigger? I know it sounds dumb but I keep missing it!
Hi Rachel – I’ll see what I can do.
Chrome is still in beta and doesn’t support Java, Shockwave or Silverlight so far.
I expect this will be fixed soon.
