Google Chrome, IE8, Mozilla Ubiquity

The past 7 days have been very eventful with all the so-called giants, releasing their newest products. It all started with Mozilla releasing Ubiquity, Microsoft with a revamped IE8 and Google with their browser, Google Chrome codenamed Chromium.

Over the days, blogosphere was filled with rave reviews, great discussions and many conclusions on what the future is. Much’ve been talked about all the three big-thingies, and as such, I’m not planning for yet another review of these. Just some thoughts on these; that’s all.

While going through the official Google Blog, I was excited to know that Google followed the policy : “launch early and iterate.” This is a favourite of many, including mine. They says:

As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit “send” a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome.

Certainly, they’ve succeded in getting more coverage and crowd for the launch, that announcing the product only at the time of official launch. Excellent Marketing Tactics !!
