When Google released its new (and first) browser a few days ago (Chrome), many praised that move or welcomed this new player into the arena, but many others simply were a bit surprised and wondered if a new browser was really needed when this market already features IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Konqueror and a plethora of smaller ones. While IE is still leader, those who aren't satisfied with it have a good choice of alternatives, especially in Firefox and Opera. So fasten your seat belt to join me in a ride which will attempt to explain why this browser war could be a threat to Google's very foundation and why Chrome is maybe the most important move Google could have done to protect itself.

RIA indexing? I am sure ideas are being worked on now... a way to expose the applet content to search engines. I don't know... I guess wait and see how things pan out. HTML will not go away any time soon, either.
It actually makes sense. For newsmedia API based system would make more sense since they have more control what they expose to search engines. Basicly it could be as simple as RSS feed system that delivers information to search engine. It would solve some problems we have nowdays like Cuil attacks(too aggressive search engine indexer bot).

The article was interesting. I am sure some of his points were valid and perhaps some of his predictions will be as well.
Not sure what else to say about it tho'.
