Has anyone else heard Google may be making a web browser? If you look the domain www.gbrowser.com is registered. I think this could be pretty cool if this does happen. They also may be making an IM program like AIM, Yahoo!, and MSN. This would also be exciting! Google is really getter bigger with GMail, AdSense, and some of its other services.

So what are your thoughts on this? True, Not True?

I think the Gbrowser rumor may be true -- it seems plausible enough; however, I doubt the Google IM is true -- there's simply no need for it. I think generally everyone is happy with AIM, YIM, os MSN. Do we really need a GIM? What would GIM offer that none of the former can?

It's look like Google coperation will take over all service like MSN and Yahoo! but I cheer up google! my fastest search engine and largest reliable mail provider

[sarcasm] yeah cool, of course, they are going to integrate gmail, google search and internet browsing, and send periodically status reports back to them. So they know what you look for, what you mail others about, and your conversations on Gmessenger. Aah hell, let's make 'n GoogleOS too, so we can all search everything we want when we want and let mr. google know all about it.
[/sarcasm]

Google has to focus on SEARCH not messaging, browsing and OS'ing.

I think jipman is right. what, is GIM going to have a nifty search so you can instantly search thought all you IM archives and find your chat about "eating lasagna and talking to fred"? (don't forget the targeted advertising so you get get ads about the best deals on "LOL" and "TTFN" on eBay.)

I think if Google did make an IM client it would use MSN or AIM protocol anyway rather than create it's own "GIM Protocol."

If google implement its search engine in browser and assumed messanger it will be greate. But at the same time we need to think of our privacy. If any one used Google Desktop Search they know how it threats the privacy of the user. But any how i like google as i get all needed resources at a click of a mouse on its SE.
But privacy is the most important thing.

Security is a concern, but I think Google would probably be as safe as any with security.

Hi,

I went into http://www.google.com/intl/en/about.html to try by myself to find any clue about above roumors, and it doesn't seems like that they had that part in their plans and did even tried to check their laps and nothing there either. I really hopes that Google continue to do what they are best on, to be and fast and useful search engine.

Cheers

Google is great... -good- at what they do now. The search engine(s) are what they should stick to. Maybe update the algorythms that is used to categorize web pages and it would be nice to be able to submit dead links. they could setup a spider to check if the link is dead and update the db when it's true. And if link is alive just leave it alone for the next time the googlebot shows up.

IMHO they should stay away from browsers and IM's

google just keeps on growing and growing. the gbroswer rumour is true. its going to be based on the mozilla suite. so it'll be open source.

also, google is now an icann approved domain registrar. so they can register the 7 tlds.

im sure you'll find more info if you google LOL

While its a very inviting idea, do you think you need one MORE messenger and Browser ?? Don't you think we've enough good ones around ? I for one don't see the point in adding one more messenger and another new set of login/pass (i've a very bad memory and have to write it down somewhere for sure) to go along with !! Besides firefox just makes me plain and simple happy and it'll be quite hard to convince me to switch other

What do you guys say ?

There have been rumours of a google browser for ages. I recently read that they hired the lead programmer on firefox. As you may know firefox has recently been taking up a large portion of internet explorers market share recently.

Hi,

I can imagine that an closer cooperation between mozilla and google is more possible than that google would spend time on making their own browser. I've been used firefox for almost a year now, and I can just say that IE is stone dead forever as NS has been for a while. And also thunderbird takes OE to the grave. I'm really excited to see what happen here in the future.

Cheers!
