Internet to get “Truth Rating”

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

PinochioInternet pioneer Tim Berners-Lee wants to see a truth rating hit the net in the near future. This comes off the back of the Large Hadron Collider experiment which was rumoured to be able to create black holes and swallow up the universe, a comment that was invented and spread on the net.

“On the web the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable…A sort of conspiracy theory of sorts and which you can imagine spreading to thousands of people and being deeply damaging.”

Berners-Lee believed a rating was needed and that it should be policed by various people and organisations. His comments came at the launch of his new foundation the World Wide Web Foundation, aimed at putting the web all over the globe.

Google Chrome Released Today

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Google ChromeA new open source web browser hits cyber space today. Web giants Google are embarking on a new adventure in to the web browser market with Google Chrome. Already filled with Internet Explorer and another open source browser Firefox, Google Chrome has a lot of competition.

The browser released today is only in beta and is only available for Windows users. Apparently a Mac and Linux version are to follow soon.

One of the key features of this web browser is the ability to use the address bar as a search box meaning you should never have to type a full web address.

One of the key issues to tackle when finishing a web site is how your site looks in different browsers. Hopefully chrome will be W3C friendly.
