The Chrome Experiment: Arcade Fire September 3rd, 2010
Rock band Arcade Fire has teamed up with Google to redefine the music video and to show the world what is possible with HTML5.
“The Wilderness Downtown” combines HTML5, JavaScript, and Google Maps to create an immersive Web experience that is truly unique for every user. The music is great, and the video is a joy to watch. But as a Web geek, I’m most impressed by the subtle synchronization of lyrical and musical cues, window effects, and animations that are made possible by the HTML5 audio, video, and canvas tags.
To watch this video, you’ll need Google Chrome or another HTML5 compliant browser.

Social Search: What Are My Friends Saying – Right Now? November 19th, 2009
Through social media, we’re becoming more and more connected than ever before. We’re sharing opinions, posting links that we find important, and holding conversations in social spaces. Many of us consider our friends and social networks as a primary source for information, and especially trust their opinion over a stranger’s. For example, if I become a fan of a company and join their group or if I give a restaurant a rating, my friends are likely to take note.

Gmail Goggles October 16th, 2008
Now Gmail makes you think twice before sending that late night email to an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. You just have to answer a few math questions (you pick the difficulty) before the email will send. It automatically kicks in late at night on the weekends, but you can adjust the time parameters to fit your needs. You can read more about it on Gmail’s Blog. Now that’s thinking about the user’s needs!
