This week Google launched their new browser called Chrome (what a great name). As always Google’s release was surrounded by a lot of buzz and let me tell you now that it was worth it every single bit. Currently the two most popular browsers on the market are Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and the webmaster friendly Mozilla Firefox.

The expectation of the browser was very high and so it should be Google are a multi million dollar company, actually the fastest growing company in the world. But they have met the expectation and exceeded it by miles. Now we will take a look at the beneficial factors of the new browser.

First and foremost the installation is lightning fast. When first loading up the browser all I could notice was the speed the site loads up, very fast indeed. One major floor that both of it competitors were suffering was speed. Besides that Google have taken into consideration all the major floors that the over browsers have. Two of which are very clear at first site and the first being that when a website or loading page decides to crash it does not cause the whole of the browser to crash.

This had a habit of being very annoying, especially when you had several important tabs open. What the chrome browser does is only cause the tab in question to fault and close down. The second great feature is the incognito feature which does not record any of your browsing history, this will be great for internet cafes, schools and various confidential work places.

Switching to the design interface, well what can I say it looks great! easy, simple and professional are the three words that come to mind. With a sleek and simple safari like look it is sure to win a lot of awards. Finally all in all this is Google’s first attempt and they have done very well, they have built a browser taking into consideration the new developments of websites, so unlike Firefox and IE who have had to upgrade and tweak there browsers to suit new design and coding needs. Chrome has been designed to cater for the future view of web pages from the beginning.

Still in beta mode the browser will see amazing improvement over the next coming years and with Google looking to now dominate the browser market IE and Firefox must be running scared, very scared!

For all your Project Management and Portal Solutions

Who is responsible for the community site content? Web Master or site members!
Apart from being useful in sharing content, social networking sites have become one of the best platforms for buyers and sellers to meet in a free open market strata, where they get to engage in commerce. The sellers promote their business by posting their items for sale in a site marketplace. If people surfing the site, find a particular item useful, they will buy it. All the posting and purchasing processes involved in the execution of the sale are done online.

But the downside to this is that fake companies utilize this opportunity to post counterfeit items. People trusting such sites purchase products blindly, only to find out that their purchase was ‘not such a good idea’. Once they come to know the truth about the product after usage, they seek legal assistance to help them out in such cases. The result, often reflecting badly on the site involved and its administrators. They are charged as responsible for posting such content on their site and fined heavily.

Even in the recent lawsuit between Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) and eBay (eBay is The World’s Online Marketplace®, enabling trade on a local, national and international basis), a French court ruled that eBay was responsible for counterfeit items sold on the site and for selling genuine products outside of authorized channels. The court ordered eBay to pay around 40 million Euros, which works out to approximately $63.2 million. The auction website has also been ordered to stop selling fragrances and cosmetics from those brands immediately, or face more fines. (Source).

Now arises the question of who is actually responsible for the content posted on a website. If one argues that web masters are responsible, you can always come up with the counter-argument that it would be tedious for the site owners to control the content posted by millions of users. So the responsibility lies solely in the hands of the site members who contribute to the content.
Similar situation can be seen in the content posted in networking sites. People upload inappropriate content such as porn videos, racist slurs, copyright content etc without the knowledge of the web master. Due to such irresponsible posts, the site is rendered unsafe for the genuine users. Even though such sites take necessary actions by hiring teams that work solely for the purpose of approving uploaded content and installing special software to restrict uploading of such content, such illicit material still finds a way to surface through. Also, such efforts end in vain due to delay in processing as millions and millions of bytes content are uploaded every day. With the constant threat of losing customers to competing sites looming large, the web owners relax the measures taken against such uploads, which paves way for posting inappropriate content.
