Two months are already gone since the launch of Google Chrome. Its market share still around 3% (source: w3school accessed on the 6th of November 2008). From the data available, we can see how IE still losing market share. Users who leave IE6 (-2.1%) are more than the ones who move on IE7 (+0.6%). The winner in this battle still Firefox that gained 1.4% of the market share.
One of the reasons why Google Chrome’s market share isn’t increased yet it is probably because of the missing google toolbar. Many users still complaining about this problem and most of them said they won’t use Google Chrome until the Google toolbar is available.

Google Chrome has been launched less than a month ago and has already reached 3.1% of the market share (source: w3school accessed on the 4th of October 2008).
If this trend continues (and probably it will), in few months Google Chrome will be the leader of the market! I bet on it!
Only a recommedation:
People still complaining about the missing google toolbar. Google Chrome is the best browser I have ever tried: fast, clear, and usable. But please Google Guys… the toolbar is absolutely needed. And I really hope you will come up with a wonderful original Google Chrome Toolbar… something like the one I hypothesized in one of my previous post: Google Chrome in the 3 most used browsers: how long will it take?
Or maybe something better, something that we human beings can’t neither imagine!

And now is time to include Google Chrome as well! I am pretty sure Google Chrome is going to be the first of the class very soon! It is just great: very wide screen, clear, easy to use and very fast! The only negative point (and people are complaining about it) is the google toolbar! Unfortunately Google Chrome was released without Google Toolbar.
I guess GG (Google Guys) are doing a great job around the google toolbar for Google Chrome. I think of something like… fading effect (same effect than the property hover), with a non invasive Google Toolbar that appears and disappears when the mouse ‘hover‘ the Google Toolbar button, and a fading drop down menu (including page rank, translator button, autofill and so on) will gently appear.
This will be also a good additional point to immediately gain points over the competitors.
How long will Google Chrome need to be in the 3 most used browsers?

I am going to try a new way to summarize information.
I just read an article very interesting about (once again) surveillance society and advertising. But this time is about billboards.
Few months ago I realized a project for the module “internet technologies” and this project is a website called “content analyzer“. It is a basic/easy/simple way to analyze text. Mainly it retrieves the statistics of a document (e.g. how may words in the document, frequency of each single word, sorting by Alpha or Frequency). You can try it by yourself clicking on the link above.
Here the analysis of the original article (that you can find on nytimes.com)
Unique words:595
Total words:1443Freq. Word

I decided to take the first 10 nouns and all the verbs and subjects from the top list down to the last noun i chose (in this case “technology”).
You can choose as many words as you like, but to keep it as a summarization, i decided to stop at the first 10 nouns.
This analysis is really a basic one, and it can be modified/improved in many different ways.
Below is the complete statistical result:
