Why we're in love with Google the one and only!

Google the almighty has set it's sights on tackling Microsoft's operating system. Go you good thing! It is being discussed world-wide by many millions of geeks as potentially one of the biggest tech stories ever! Yahoo tried to take em on, but failed poorly. Now 'the oracle' as we like to refer to Google here at Diva HQ, has set it's sights on this challenge. Now what does this mean I hear your guys ponder?

Well in it's simplest sense it means that not only could Google dominate search, and serve us up with information on our search requests according to how Google sees the world, but to launch an OS will mean that we will all depend on Google to 'run' our computers and thus rely on the online services that Google could dish up! It simply mammoth! The WSJ comments: "Chrome OS is also trying to redefine the idea of what a computer operating system should be. In a blog post Tuesday night, Google said the operating system would have the ability to boot up and let users get online in just seconds and new security features, addressing sore points for some users of PCs that run Microsoft Windows. Google is also betting customers will gravitate toward online software that requires an Internet connection, as opposed to conventional PC programs that are downloaded and installed."

SuperNova Sydney awakens creatures big and small

SuperNova Sydney June 2009, the annual Sci-Fi geek fest, was no let down this year!
12,200 people attended the show, most of them dressing up as their favourite online, scr-fi or gaming characters! It was a visual feast for the eyes to say the least, not to mention the incredibly creativity, time and effort that went into creating these amazing costumes and outfits! The most spectacular I have to say was from the young lady that took 6 months to create 'Howl' from Howl's Moving Castle movie, (for those of you who haven't seen it, check out the lady in the black fur, with the feathered head and incredibly wings, see pic above) a classic Japanese anime film by the genuius himself HAYAO MIYAZAKI.

Is it true? Web 2.0 is dead?

“Web 2.0″ seems to become more and more a void (and an avoided) term. Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it is definitely apparent.

So why do I say it’s fading? For one, because the number of startups that contact us and include the term Web 2.0 in the subject line or message is visibly dropping (and that’s a good thing), and I hardly ever see it mentioned anymore on other technology blogs and news sites either. That’s not really tangible, so I took a look at the number of mentions of the phrase across the web, and they seem to be decreasing significantly, reflecting my feeling on this.

Judging by Google Trends, which shows how often a particular search term is entered relative to the total search volume across various regions of the world (and in various languages), the term started being used at the end of 2004 when Tim O’Reilly organized the first edition of the Web 2.0 Conference. Search queries for the term started picking up in the middle of 2005, when TechCrunch was started - with the tagline “Tracking Web 2.0″ by the way - and the number kept increasing until the end of 2007. After that, the trend is clearly downwards, falling back to the level it reached in early 2006 today. If the trend continues, there should only be a handful of people left who scour search engines for “Web 2.0″ by 2011.
