Google Latitude lets you see your friends on a map on Google Maps for mobile and iGoogle.

 

还有就是Google Earth 5已经发布，新增的潜入海底和查看历史影像我觉得很是不错，看来这回Google的股价又要涨上一涨了。

quote Google Chrome Screenshots by Philipp Lenssen

Google announced their browser Google Chrome to be available on Tuesday, but their download page and tour was already partly available at gears.google.com/chrome/ just now, as Uval in the forum noticed. While the download itself didn’t work when I tried, I was able to extract some screenshots, from the frontpage but also the YouTube videos. And while the product tour videos themselves seemed to require a special group membership at YouTube, the video still previews are public and you can paste the video identifier into a URL like this one to see more high quality stills.

The service’s logo.

Screenshots of Google Chrome from the service’s frontpage.

The auto-completion of the so-called “omnibox” address bar.

The homepage showing 9 thumbnailed pages to access, along with more pointers in the side-bar, to appear “[e]very time you open a new tab”, as Google says.

This screenshot shows Google Calendar and a dialog reading “Create shortcuts in the following locations”, listing Desktop, Start Menu and Quick Launch Bar.

Zooming in on the browser tabs.

The Google Chrome task manager, e.g. to monitor if certain sites cause memory problems.

A screen showing the “Google incognito” mode for allegedly more private browsing.

Another auto-completion example.

A star near the address input bar lets you bookmark a page, apparently.

A look into the settings menu.

Google in their tour says with Chrome “you see your download’s status at the bottom of your current window.”

On a related note, I asked Scott McCloud – creator of the comic book introducing Google Chrome – some questions. Scott now put up a mini-FAQ on his site. He says he’d been working on the comic off and on “from March through August.” On the question of who came up with the visualizations, he says there was some “rough whiteboard sketching during the interviews” but that most were his though. Asked about how many of these comics were printed, Scott says it was just a limited run, and that he didn’t sign any yet. He adds this project was “a big challenge” considering he had “never done such a thing before.”

现在就流行这东西，我也来一次走在流行浪尖上。

网站介绍来自我敬爱的Hack老兄，网站介绍请点这里。

今天发现一个好软件，关于Spacer的好软件。

用它可以以下阅读100条以上的你空间上的评论（如果你有这么多的话），方便易用，是个好东西。

好消息，Googlepage中国大陆又可以使用了，只是我们的Wikipedia还处于被封状态。

这是基于http://www.freespeedtest.com/的测试。

 

现在学校的社团活动我见了不少，不过第一次有这样的社团让我眼前一亮，那就是Google Camp（BUAA）。

虽然只是它只是一个大学的社团，不过它能得到谷歌中国和Wikipedia的支持，还是不错的。

其中有我所在学校的Google Earth地标，还有Kempson的GoogleProduct MindMap，我自己觉得这些都是比较有价值的创意。

社团还创立了http://www.wikibuaa.com/，类于Wikipedia的一个小型网上辞典，做得有模有样，我很是欣赏。

 

Windows live Spaces最近更新不断，完善了不少功能，Vista的风格也是很炫，我还是比较满意的，就是Spaces加载速度还有待提高，不过AJAX技术的采用，能优化成现在的模样，已经是相当不错的了。

对于空间玩法，我觉得是Live的Gadget，当然这个的美观性和Vista中的还是没法比。Gadget中HTML Sandbox又是拓展性很强的模块，在其中iframe的使用，可以说是其的一个亮点。

 今天有两个网站要介绍，好像不太及时，不过好东西要经得起时间的考验。
