Google browser and some more information on it.

This article from the BBC has some more in-depth information on the possible Google browser coming out. I think that people are making conclusions based on some of the personnel that have gone from the Microsoft IE Team over to Google. Of course all this makes sense, putting the pieces together like GMail and Blogger and using a possible flavor of Mozilla. What may be significant is that Google is probably a lot more agile company than Microsoft, so the possibility of them delivering a new browser product is good. They have all sorts of tools that could be useful for the average joe surfer, but will these tools make things better? Or will it only identify Google as a "me too" company?

For websites that are looking to get higher rankings, I don't think any of this has any importance except for creating loyalty in the future for Google. If you do well on Google, then a more solid community of users will be a positive for you. If that portal or community they're trying to build doesn't work well, then people might be looking for other avenues of search. Don't count Microsoft out. They are out of position right now, but they were with Netscape too. And we all know what happened, and who the winner was there!
