Will Google Finally Make Us Read ToS and EULA?
Will Google Finally Make Us Read ToS and EULA?
It really looks now that Google’s shiny Chrome browser was not actually 100% ready for public debut yesterday and the comic book describing the browser Google was working on was sent prematurely. What I see as an evidence of this is that Chrome’s EULA (end-user license agreement) seemed to be far from appropriate for a browser and resembled a standard document describing terms of use of any web service already offered by Google. Yes, everyone knows that people hardly ever read [...]

Funniest Web Contest of the Month: Find the Best Toilets in San Francisco
Funniest Web Contest of the Month: Find the Best Toilets in San Francisco
This week sees the launch of a funny and somewhat peculiar contest for San Francisco residents to vote on the best (and the worst) public toilets in the city. The contest is held by MizPee, a funny little mobile service intended to help you find the nearest restroom throughout the US using your cell phone (we reviewed the service last summer when it was launched). And while this sounds like a much-needed service for both residents and visitors to those cities [...]

Asian Gamers Heavily Affected by Online Bullying
Asian Gamers Heavily Affected by Online Bullying
Global market intelligence group IDC has released today results of a study of online gaming trends in Asia and they are interesting enough to take a closer look at. Specifically the study looked into what gamers like and dislike in the industry as it is today. The study was carried out in August in six Asian countries (China, Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam) and involved web-based interrogation of 664 online gamers. The most important conclusion we can draw from [...]

Bad News: Google Chrome Crashes Completely. Separate Processes?
Bad News: Google Chrome Crashes Completely. Separate Processes?
So I’ve been playing with Google Chrome for a while now and I have to admit it: it took only these few hours to crash it. Yes, completely crash, not disabling one tab with some process to be blamed for it. Unfortunately I have not captured the screen since I switched back from English to Russian-language version of the browser to see how good the translation is (far from perfect as usually, actually) and I did not think the notification [...]

Twittertise – Another Tool for Brand Management on Twitter
Twittertise
Only yesterday we reported on TwittAd - a new marketplace to connect Twitter account owners with potential advertisers to sell some graphic ads right on our Twitter profiles. The discussion on that post and in comments on other blogs was around real potential of such a service to sell any ads and provide any value to advertisers at all. Anthony Ha over at VentureBeat even argued that these ads will hardly be visible at all and I tend to agree [...]

Playing with Google Chrome – Too Simplistic or Perfectly Minimalist?
Playing with Google Chrome
As I believe everyone has heard already, Google has introduced a browser of its own - named Chrome. Yesterday the blogosphere was abuzz about the comic book Google distributed to share its vision for a web browser (by the way, I have not seen such long threads on Techmeme for a long time now). Basically Google Chrome is an open-source browser developed by Google using existing WebKit rendering engine (the one used in Aple’s Safari browser) and its own Google Gears [...]

Another Company Builds a Business Model around Twitter – Marketplace for Twitter Ads
Another Company Builds a Business Model around Twitter
I wonder when Twitter will finally notice how many people come up with creative ways to use Twitter for business while Twitter keeps earning nothing at all off those millions of users participating in the micro-blogging community. Right now it looks like Twitter is determined to continue ignoring this same as it has been doing until now. In the meanwhile today we are watching TwittAd covered on TechCrunch - and this will be sure to bring some initial visibility to the [...]

US Athletes Will Be Taught Proper Online Behavior
US Athletes Will Be Taught Proper Online Behavior
Usage of internet, including social networking websites, is becoming a serious issue for athletic departments across the US. Recently two Nebraska athletes have appeared on a porn website and have been dismissed from the wrestling team as a result. This incident has made the sports officials realize that web usage by athletes may pose a serious problem and should be addressed properly since it can damage the image of a team and a university - not only of the [...]
