So, today’s big news was that – after years of rumours – Google has launched it’s own web browser, Google Chrome (Windows only at the moment – grrr!).

Continued use of IE6 is costing you money
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008
As a web designer, it’s my job to ensure that the sites I design and build, work on as wide a variety of web browsers as possible. And that includes Internet Explorer 6 which, depending on which version of user statistics you believe, is still used by 25 per cent or so of web users.

Right, this is a test post using a new service called Zemanta.
Strange name, great idea.
I use WordPress as my blogging tool, which means I am currently writing these words inside a small window through my web browser (Firefox). As I type Zemanta is analysing the words I’m using, looking for patterns, identifying brand names and generally performing something close to a miracle.
Now I’ve typed enough characters, Zemanta is suggesting a variety of things I might like to include in this post – images, web sites, articles etc. It’s even created Tags I could use with this article.
1. Clicked the Links button – and it’s added four new links into this article (all the ones you see above
have been added automatically by Zemanta).
2. Clicked some pictures in the Gallery section. A huge Firefox logo has just been added. For some
reason it’s also suggesting a Heather Small (ex-M People singer) album cover. Right, no idea what’s going on then. Clicked another image… ah, the picture’s changed. Is that a good thing or not?
3. Ah… the Heather Small album is called “Close to a miracle”… a phrase I used above. Now that’s clever.
4. Clicked the “Related articles” button – and it’s stuck something in the bottom of the post.
5. Right, interesting experience. When it’s dropped things in, it’s messed-up my page layout slightly but, nothing major that I couldn’t fix by redefining some CSS in my main style sheet. Too complicated? Well, in that case you’re unlikely to have styled your own CSS in the first place.
Will I use it again? Not sure yet…
