What is a browser?

|
There are some funny stats collected by a Google guy among his friends. People say "I know which Car i drive but when asked about which browser you use they are confused about web browsers — even though the browser is one of the most-used programs on computers.

To popularize Google Chrome and to bring awareness among web illiterates couple of Google Guys have launched a website whatbrowser.



The site gives equally simple text tutorials on how to change a homepage, a default search engine, and a default browser. Credit must go to the "folks" at Google for making these parts of the site accessible to the average Internet user, something that is difficult for a justifiably biased technology company to do.

How To's

The "Under the Hood" section of the site seemed like it might give the geekier among us some food for thought with regard to browser performance. It contained this history lesson of a browser timeline from Wikipedia and a series of diagnostic tests, mostly related to browsers' processing of JavaScript.

Graphs & Charts

And at the end they ask you to try a new browser

Windows 7 to be released on Oct 22? Is India Ready for it.

|
Well the million dollar question is - Should you or shouldn’t you upgrade to Windows 7 from your existing OS (XP/Vista)?

In India lot of people still use Windows XP as their OS. They didnt even bothered to migrate to Windows Vista. Most of the indian PC's come with lower hardware configuration. Still lot of people use Windows 98, 2000 and older versions of OS.

Technically its not advisable to upgrade your OS unless you have minimum 1 GB RAM. Microsoft itself doesn’t recommend any config of less than 1 GB. Then there’s the hard disk space needed for the OS, it needs about 10-12 GB of hard drive space just for itself.

If we see the web trends craze, Windows 7 popularity has picked up in a good amount. But still popularity of windows xp did not decrease it is just in uptrend. And Vista has become stagnant in its growth.

Note: For Corporate Customers Plan to be Off Windows XP by Year-End 2012 — Microsoft will support Windows XP with security fixes into April of 2014.



Windows 7 popularity is more in the following Indian States of Assam, Goa, Orissa, Rajasthan, Kerala, Delhi and in terms of cities poularity is more in Delhi and followed by Mangalore, Mahape, Chennai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, Bhopal, Hyderabad.

Time should tell us how Windows 7 will be received by the internet world. If i search for windows 7 bugs list i get " Results 1 - 10 of about 152,000,000 for windows 7 bugs list. (0.41 seconds)" in Google.

Microsoft has already started working on 128 Bit OS in its Windows 8 and Windows 9 versions.

Buy and Sell Trends in India

|
Indians are picking up in online shopping and getting online reviews about different products. If we see the trends from 2004 Indian's are Buying more through online shopping. The Sell trend is continuing with the same popularity.



Google Suggestions gives buyers trend towards used cars, mobile, books, laptop, iphone. People see reviews and suggestions on things which they are buying.



Searches which are going to peak out with Buy trends are Dell Laptops, Property Buying, Buying on eBay.

Google Suggestions gives Sellers trend towards Cars, Property, Bike, Mobile, Used Cards, Photos, Paintings.

State wise Buy and Sell trends in India shows Karnataka, Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana, Goa lead in India.



And in terms of cities Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Surat, Mangalore, Pune, Mahape, Chennai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Calcutta lead in Buy trends.

In Sell trend Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Surat, Pune, Mahape, Mangalore, Chennai, Calcutta, New Delhi
Hyderabad, Bhopal lead.

Stop / Save IE6 - Its up to you to decide?

|
Lot of buzz is going on these days to Stop the usage of IE6.  CNN has come up with an article to stop the usage of IE6.

If you still want to use Internet Explorer better upgrade to IE7 or IE8 and enjoy the web browsing experience.

You might be asking yourself two questions right now: What’s so bad about IE6? And why do so many people (Web Browser Popularity in India) still use it? The answer to the first question is relatively simple: Internet Explorer 6 is outdated technology in a rapidly-changing Internet landscape. Imagine trying to use the social web, Microsoft Office, iTunes, IM, your video games, and all of your desktop apps…with a computer from 2001 (20 GB of space, 256 MB of RAM, anyone?). It’s the same thing: a great deal of new web technology is simply incompatible with IE6.

 The Next step HTML 5

HTML (hypertext markup language) is the code that helps shape the world wide web – you’ve all probably used an HTML tag (especially if you blog) or played with HTML at some point. HTML 5 is the next revision of the HTML language, and the features that are coming with it are a doozy. And surely IE6 doesnt support it.






Below are couple of sites who are against IE6.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7


I was able to find only one site asking to save IE6.

Web Browser Popularity in India

|
This is my first post on Hot Indian Trends. Wanted to start this blog by giving some analysis on web browsers. I like to use different browsers for different needs and web browser is the basic thing required on a PC these days.

Well, if we see the usage of different web browsers IE still leads in the usage but, its decreasing gradually and giving way for firefox. There is a big movement going on in internet circles about stopping the usage of  ie6.



If we take the keywords (Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera) which are searched or downloaded most on internet Firefox leads.  Firefox is going to pickup in few years and has to overtake IE. There is a campaign going on to spread the word of Firefox and Firefox has already celebrated 1 Billion downloads.

If you would like to participate in Firefox Projects do so. Here is the link. I have already registered.




This April Google Chrome overtook Internet Explorer in terms of keyword searched for. Opera and Safari are still picking up.


As PC sales zoom and internet is picking up in India most PC's still come with IE as the default browser. We might see the same trend or a decrease in trend continuing for IE in future as well. Firefox will keep its uptrend continuing and may leave a long gap behind for others to catch on. By the way, IE is the most preferred browser in the corporate world government sectors. That will keep IE floating for a while.

Google Chrome might pickup late next year as they introduce more features and addons. There were some exceptions noticed. States of Assam and Goa have the most usage of Firefox and Chrome.

Latest Internet Stats from Google

Google is collecting internet stats from a number of third party sources covering a range of topics from macroscopic economic and media trends to how consumer behaviour and technology are changing over time.

  • Users are 1.5 times more attentive when browsing YouTube than when watching TV.
  • 36% of UK consumers have bought a CD after watching a music video on YouTube.
  • Shoppers have become suspicious of many TV ads: in a shoppers survey by Wall Street Journal, 78% of them said that TV ads no longer have enough information they need.
  • There are 1.6 billion people online worldwide, representing nearly 24% of the world's population.

Google Trends Goes Mobile

|
Google Trends, one of the very useful tool on the internet goes mobile. I think a lot of people forget it exists. While Twitter might get all the press, there's no single more valuable tool than Trends to gauge what's got the public's attention. Now that it has a mobile version, I am sure I will be using it more.


And it sounds very interesting. Indian version of Google Trends shows up in a different compared to the US version of the Google Trends.

Indian version still doesn't have  past trends data. US version shows links for Past Day, Week, Month.


Bing Slows down in the month of August 09

Microsoft will help feed the hungry if you drop IE6 for IE8

|
Microsoft has just announced that they will provide 16 meals for hungry Americans (not meant ironically) if users upgrade their browsing experience from Internet Explorer 6 to Internet Explorer 8.

During Hunger Action month, they will give 16 meals to help the 36 million Americans struggling with hunger for each person that downloads IE8 through their site.

So it seems as though it's not just web developers that are trying to rid the world of IE6 after all. This is a great programme for helping out those in need, whilst improving the overall internet experience. Kudos to Microsoft.

What is Google?

Gathered some user comments from the Techcrunch article about "What is Google?".

Below are some comments.

  1. It’s a lot more complex than it was years ago.
  2. Google is an Internet Services Provider (not an ISP), in that they provide a wide array of Services available on the ‘Net…
  3. Google is a browser isn’t it? It’s that internet thingy that you surf the web with and even buy things.
  4. G is a monetary momentum monster.
  5. “What Is Google?” The best place to search something
  6. The largest monopoly that has ever existed with more power than any before it.
  7. Google is a self reinforcing feedback loop where shareholders steal from advertisers in order to keep the stock price artificially inflated.
  8. Google is a securities fraud and a monopoly that allows shareholders to control the share price via internet by clicking on paid search results.
  9. !microsoft
  10. I think Google is a company that collects, stores and helps create data, information and knowledge for others to search through or add to.
  11. Google is master of all search engine.

Will Social Networking be embedded into Browsers?

|
Google Chrome was launched a year ago this week. Chrome concentrated much on the speed.

As internet applications running inside a browser become more complex, speed of running Javascript has become a central issue in making the web perform more effectively.

Google has shown that encryption can work inside a browser, removing the need for a PC to communicate with a server to authenticate a user, thereby speeding up the experience of an application, says Brian Rakowski, Chrome product manager.

Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox browser, says it is looking into adding a number of extra capabilities to its software. “There’s a lot of space for expansion of what it means for your browser to be your agent, to be an extension of you,” says Chris Beard, Mozilla’s chief innovation officer.

The list of things he says a browser should be able to do includes: know who you are and handle authentication on the websites you visit; keep a record of your social network so that you can interact with friends; and, make it easier to share content with your network.

Potential for “social browsers” is a hot topic in Silicon Valley.

Currently available Social Browser is Flock

Flock is a web browser built on Mozilla’s Firefox codebase that specializes in providing social networking and Web 2.0 facilities built into its user interface. Flock v2.5 was officially released on May 19, 2009

Flock 2.5 integrates social networking and media services including MySpace,Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, Blogger, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.Notably, when logging into any of the supported social services, Flock can track updates from friends: profiles, uploaded photos, and more. Flock's latest 2.5 version added Twitter Search functionality, multi-casting of status updates to multiple services, and the introduction of instant messaging via Facebook Chat in the browser.

Global Search Market Draws More than 100 Billion Searches per Month

|
comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world today released a study of the global search market showing that more than 113 billion searches were conducted in July 2009, representing a 41-percent increase versus year ago. Google Sites attracted significantly more searches than any other engine with 76.7 billion searches conducted, or 67.5 percent market share. Yahoo! Sites ranked second worldwide with 8.9 billion searches (7.8 percent share), followed closely by Chinese search engine Baidu with 8 billion searches (7.0 percent share). Most of the top search properties worldwide experienced significant growth in search query volume versus last year, with Russian search engine Yandex growing at the fastest rate (94 percent) among the top ten.

Growth of Google

|
■ Launched in 2002, Google News aggregates breaking stories from media sources around the world.

■ Google Maps and Google Earth, launched in 2005, offer an interactive map of the planet.

■ Google's acquisition in 2006 of YouTube changed the media landscape.

■ Google's 2008 acquisition of online advertising company DoubleClick gave rise to objections that the sale would give the company a near-monopoly of the online ad market and widen its scope to collect users' personal data.

Roubini: Economic Recovery to Be 'Very Ugly'

|
Nouriel Roubini, the economist whose dire forecasts earned him the nickname "Doctor Doom", told CNBC Monday that the economic recovery is going to be "very ugly."

When asked about the economy Monday, Roubini said, "We may be out of a freefall for the financial system," said Roubini. "We have seen the worst in that sense. But in my view there is a sluggish U shaped recovery that might go into a W double dip if we don't fix the problems in the economy."

The global recession may end towards the end of 2009 rather than sooner and the global recovery in 2010 will be anemic and well below trend as leveraged and income/profit-challenged households, firms and financial institutions are constrained in their ability to borrow, lend and spend. Meanwhile a perfect storm of persistently large fiscal deficits and public debt accumulation, monetization of such deficits that will eventually increase expected inflation, rising government bond yields, soaring oil prices, weak profits, still falling jobs and stagnant growth has inched a little closer on the radar of this cloudy global economic outlook. It’s a storm that could blow the recovering world economy back into a double-dip recession by late 2010 or 2011. It doesn’t have to come to pass. But it is getting more likely unless a clear exit strategy from the massive monetary and fiscal stimulus is outlined even before it is implemented once a more sustained global recovery is achieved.

On investing in today's markets: "A "Stay away from risky assets. I think from now on the surprise will be on the downside in areas like commodities."

Below is his interview.

So what is your forecast for the recovery right now? I've been hearing sub par growth. What exactly does that mean?


ROUBINI: First of all, in my view the recession is going to continue through the end of the year. It's not over yet, and while potential growth rate for the U.S. economy is 3 percent, I expect that the growth rate of the economy is going to be very anemic, below trend, then on 1 percent for the next two years. Why? You have U.S. consumers are shopped out, saving less debt burden. They're not going to consume very much. Your financial system is severely damaged, and credit growth is going to be limited, and now we have also this massive re-leveraging of the public sector with a large budget deficit and increases in public debt are going to eventually crowd out the economic recovery of the private sector. So I don't see a lot of economic growth ahead of us.

Are you worried at all about a double-dip recession?

ROUBINI: Yeah, the risk is that by the end of the next year, if budget deficit remains very large, around $1.5 trillion, and if the Fed keep on monetizing them, essentially printing money to try to prevent increases in interest rates, expect that the inflation is going to go up, and if expecting inflation were to go up, long-term government bond yields would go up, and mortgage rates will go up. Borrowing costs for consumers (INAUDIBLE) will go up, and that's going to crowd out the recovery, so there's even a risk of a double-dip recession.

If your economic projections are correct and I have to point out that they are below consensus, it would seem that the stock market may have gotten way ahead of itself here at the current levels. Do you agree with that?

ROUBINI: Yes. Some increase in stock prices are justified because we avoided the risk of a near depression. That was the risk we were facing in the first quarter. But markets have gone up too much, too soon based on economic fundamentals. If the recovery is going to be weaker, therefore profits are not going to recover as fast. If you are going to have still weaknesses in the rest of the world, Europe, Japan I think there will be downside risk for the stock market from this point on.

What would you expect those stronger signs to be? What do you look for?

ROUBINI: Well, we have to look whether there's going to be any stabilization of the job market, but unfortunately I see unemployment rate well above 10 percent this year and close to 11 percent at the peak next year. We have to see a recovery of the U.S. consumer, but there's a massive weakness because of consumers being hit by default (ph) in the equity wealth, in this housing wealth, falling labor income, rising debt and debt servicing ratio (ph). That's why I'm somehow bearish about the recovery and don't expect the recovery to occur anytime soon and that's going to be a negative for the markets.

History Of Search Engines

|
Slide 3
The first real search engine, in the form that we know search engines today, didn’t come into being until 1993. It was developed by Matthew Gray, and it was called Wandex. Wandex was the first program to both index and search the index of pages on the Web. This technology was the first program to crawl the Web, and later became the basis for all search crawlers. And from there, search engines took on a life of their own. From 1993 to 1998, the major search engines that you’re probably familiar with today were created:
 Excite — 1993
 Yahoo! — 1994
 Web Crawler — 1994
 Lycos — 1994
 Infoseek — 1995
 AltaVista — 1995
 Inktomi — 1996
 Ask Jeeves — 1997
 Google — 1997
 MSN Search — 1998
