Montreal band Arcade fire have teamed up with Google and their Chrome Experiments, where their latest video is spiced up with some Google Streetview. Nice!
So now that the autocompletion has been fully integrated into Google, they are, apparently planning to take this to a new level. Search as you type. I am already looking forward to the weirdness this new function will give us…
Fun game, primarily, but not necessarily, designed for use with Google Chrome. Get the ball rolling and find the best and fastest way from point A to point B. Nice time waster…
Google just announced a very functional font resource with an API which will help using custom fonts within web pages. The days of when you receive an art directors mock-up and you have to ask them whether you can’t use standard web font seem to be over.
Yet another excellent Google initative. And while I am at a Google post, make sure you take another look at Wave, as they updated their UI, and seems much less buggy now, then when launched.

Now for the Google Chrome Speed Tests:

Facebook having announced their own push into the search market, as well as wanting to push their own new standards (even rumors about a Facebook tablet) and their union with Microsoft (via docs.com), there is yet another front opening up. Watch this space. Adobe screaming murder in apple’s direction. Bing and Yahoo’s failed union vs Google. Now Microsoft’s trying it again with Facebook. Interesting indeed.
It has been in the making for quite some time now. And today (or right now actually) Google are presenting their Nexus 1. What Google’s message though seems to be though, is we are not launching their phone here. They are launching themselves as a retailer, rather then launching ‘their’ phone…
Disappointingly though, this store is shipping to the US, Singapore and Hong Kong though…
