Google Chrome links

As a follow up to my post this afternoon that covered my initial impressions of Google Chrome, here is a collection of links I have found useful in terms of learning about Chrome and placing it into both technical and business contexts.

From Google

• Google’s first announcement, after the introductory comic book was mailed prematurely.
• The post indicating the Chrome site had gone live.
• The introductory comic book itself.
• Google’s explanation about Chrome’s Windows-only launch.
• Google revises the EULA language.
• Open source Chromium documentation.
• Gmail’s comments on Chrome.
• Google Notebook’s suggestions for clipping in Chrome.
• A series from Matt Cutts: Get Ready; Live blogging the announcement; Preventing paranoia; Answers to common objections; and EULA comments.

From others

• Screen shots of Chrome at Google Blogoscoped, Lifehacker, and Gizmodo.
• Scott McCloud, the author of the comic book, comments on the project.
• Information Æsthetics’ take on the launch comic book infographic cartoon
• Commentary from Jon Hicks (part one and two), Nick Carr, Om Malik, and John Siracusa.
• Good reductionist synopsis by Rui Carmo.
• A very tepid review by Walt Mossberg.
• David Pogue’s review.
• Michael Gartenberg’s three minute dismissal of Chrome here and here (this is punditry?).
• Via Gruber’s Daring Fireball: Faruk Ates on Safari for Windows comparisons; John Siracusa UI notes via IM; David Weiss on Gears; and notes from Jesper.
• A long article in Wired by Steven Levy about the development process.
• Niall Kennedy covers similar ground as Levy.
• Privacy concerns from friend-of-Mozilla Doron.
• Eric Schmidt speaks to the Financial Times.
• Video of Sergey Brin on the motivations behind Chrome.
• Browser speed tests from Cnet, and Lifehacker.
• Gizmodo discusses the heritage of Chrome’s features.
• Pointers to enable Chrome features in Firefox.
• Julius Eckert installs Chrome under OS X.
• Chrome tips from Google Blogoscoped and Google OS.

I cannot fully explain why I, and so many others apparently, find Google so fascinating, but perhaps you may find some of the above sources useful and entertaining.
