Or get some seo advice grrr … So I decide to upgrade my IE8 to version 2, note I call it IE8 and not  Internet explorer 8, so off I go to http://www.live.com actually you are going to see my searching habits when in consumer mode and not SEO mode :)

1) open IE8 beta with Live toolbar installed

2) search in toolbar for ie8 version 2

3)  look at first page results :

4) shake head… ( I still have my relevancy T-shirt .. hoping to wear for SMX London 

5) search Google in live toolbar ( lets the live team know I was unhappy grrr )

6) search google for  :

7) download IE8 Version 2 beta for Number 1 position in Google shakes head again ( hat tip to Google for been Relevant )

8) starts reading emails and open Firefox to start SEO Browsing

Ok after searching and searching is there anything out there that can add toolbars or Addons on to Chrome, can anyone point me in the right redirect..

I want :

a Stumble Upon toolbar for Chrome
a Alexa toolbar for Chrome
a Google Toolbar would be nice even..

or just a Greasemonkey Plugin ???

The Crap Points :

1) It’s just a front-end to WebKit with all the cool bits pulled
2) Where are my Plugins
3) Privacy policy and default install scare me a little, if people think Mozilla is bad ho hum

The Awesome points:

1) It’s Fast, but then Firefox is fast when you first install it slows down with the more plugins you NEED
2) It’s create Application is awesome and that alone will be the reason I use it, but not has a browser so work?
3) Supports Flash and Java on install at least the current versions couldn’t find how to update flash thou ?

So Google Chrome a Firefox replacement it isn’t. Nobody is going to use chrome has a browser it’s just not finished, I feel that Google where pressured into releasing a half baked product because IE8 Version 2 was realesed 3 days ago, I do feel that the core engine is very very good and If Mozilla or IE can expand on it cool.. I believe that pictures paint a 1000 words so

Opera, Internet Explorer and Firefox

Google Chrome :

I was recently In London with my family (it’s was my son Miles 8th Birthday) so we went to Hamleys and I met and old Big Brother contestant Carol ( my Wife Becky has a funny story about this ).. ok so far NO issues, but my Son has a show n tell, on what they did over the summer, this is going to be in front of the Class and they get a PC and Big Screen so that all the pupils get to see…

So the 6 million dollar question is, should I let him Google it live, you see I had a falling out with the school over the fact that they wouldn’t use Live.com because “the jury’s still out on that one” ……

Hey come on, we have been waiting all day for the new source web browser Google Chrome. Where is the Google Chrome Download ? Matt Cutts talked about this on his blog only yesterday and I can’t wait for the feedback on this. Already its pending release has caused rants from the “too many web browsers” already brigade. How private is this browser going to be we wonder ? What info if any will be fed back to the mighty G ?

Personally I love open source products. Matt is using Chrome already so it must be pretty good?

what gets me is this seem more likely to end Firefox than IE, V8 engine scares the shit out of me, Google past security hasn’t been awesome and I won’t be installing it on any office system any time soon, Google claim to convert JavaScript through V8 to machine code… Hmmm I can’t see how the Bad People in this world will abuse it, but apparently there is already a 25,000 USD prize in a certain forum for the first injection POC… shake heads slowly I hope google have this secure

Google claims it hasn’t made significant changes to its mapping software. Yet local data for the Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia is not appearing. This is in sharp contrast to Google Earth which supplies local data down to building levels. (They must have the data then?)Microsoft again is the winner here with its  Virtual Earth product which seems to have no trouble at all in pinpointing dozens of cities in all the locations.

Gmail is one of my favourite mail systems. Why ? Well, I guess it true I never really delete anything and the storage capacity is huge. However, the outage I experienced yesterday was also huge: “We’re sorry, but your [Gmail]* account is currently experiencing errors. You won’t be able to use your account while these errors last, but don’t worry, your account data and messages are safe. Our engineers are working to resolve this issue.”

Temporary error 502

Google have had engineers working on the system to pinpoint the 502 errors. Was everyone affected or was it simply a subset of users ? I love the capacity and indeed functionality that Gmail offers but I guess the level of dependence I have put on the mail system is too high, I expect it there when I need it 24/7

Come on Google why was Gmail Down ?

It’s fair to say Google have been blighted by issues of privacy over the last few month’s. What could be a better time then to release even more information about its users search requests ? Meet “insights for search” a free service aimed at marketers which will be an extension of Google Trends. We will now be able to see not only what individuals are searching for but get detailed information about specific groups too.

The main difference from trends is that a much greater level of detail will be presented for those tracking both word and phrase popularity within search. Categorisation of search results information is now possible with the ability to separate out specific areas of data meaning distinguishing what people are searching for will be a lot easier.

Google Insights will display geographic information on search results allowing for more specifically targeted ad campaigns. Imagine the capabilities of this tool combined  with the demographic search information that Microsoft has too…
