what is a browser?
interesting, even though I’m not sure the general person needs to know the difference between a browser and a search engine, especially, as companies like google and microsoft offer both.

Biggest news in social media today — Facebook + Friendfeed, and a little about Wowd)
If you haven’t heard/read (and you don’t follow my tweets — georgiawebgurl@twitter), Friendfeed has been bought by Facebook. Read about it here and here.

The story behind Chrome (google’s new thang)
Are you tired of chrome yet? Not even sure what chrome is?Here is the story of chrome (google’s new browser): ..to be honest, it looks an awful lot like firefox3…. but no support for RSS Feeds?

new search engine cuil

Semantic Search engine?
From Read/WriteWeb: Evri Beta Launches: Search Less – Understand More Evri, a Paul Allen backed semantic search engine, launched into a limited beta this week. Evri was first shown publicly at the D6 conference. Evri’s CEO Neil Roseman likes to talk about Evri in terms of organizing content instead of calling it a search engine. At its core, however, Evri
