Over the weekend, Google announced the upcoming release of its own website browser Google Chrome.
Tickle Me Elmo riding a Segway to the theatrical release of Star Wars wouldn’t even generate this much hype. In just a matter of hours, Google stirred the blogosphere like a martini rejected by James Bond.
All Google developments get major attention. In fact, you can’t take a dump at the Googleplex without it being reported across the AP news wire.

Some simply announced the launch, some offered live tracking, some gave personal opinions and Matt Cutts had a heart attack.
At this rate, Google Chrome has the potential to dethrone Sarah Palin as the most discussed topic on the internet. That’s a lot of buzz for a software application that stole its design from a 1980’s electronic game.
If John McCain’s hot running mate starts using Google Chrome on her iPhone while on the set of The Daily Show, I’m going to explode.
