Google Chrome aims Indian users
Bangalore: After using the print and television mediums for advertising its web browser Chrome, Google is now targeting the Indian users through the social networking site Facebook, states Watblog.com
According to the report, the advertisement claims that it is the fastest growing web browser in India. No official statistics have been provided to prove the statement. It also states that Facebook has been a fast growing social network in India, and finding new users from there makes sense, and particularly with the targeted advertisement planning that the social network offers.
About Google Chrome
Google Chrome is a web browser released by Google which uses the WebKit layout engine and application framework. It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2 2008, and the public stable release was on December 11 2008. The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or "chrome", of web browsers. As of 3 October 2009 (2009 -10-03), Chrome was the fourth most widely used browser, with 3.17% of worldwide usage share of web browsers. Development versions of Chrome for Linux and Mac OS X were released in June 2009.
Google released the entire source code of Chrome, including its bespoke V8 JavaScript engine as an open source project entitled Chromium, in 2008. This move enabled third-party developers to study the underlying source code and potentially port the browser to the Linux and Mac OS X platforms. A Google spokesperson also expressed hope that other browsers would adopt V8 to help web applications. The Google-authored portion of Chromium is released under the permissive BSD license, which allows portions to be incorporated into both open source and proprietary software programs. Other portions of the source code are subject to a variety of different open-source licenses. Chromium implements the same feature set as Chrome, but has a slightly different logo.
