GOOGLE CHROME

It is a freeware web browser developed by Google that uses the Web Kit
layout engine (later versions will use Blink, a fork of Web Kit, except on
iOS). It was released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on
September 2, 2008, and as a stable public release on December 11, 2008.
As of February 2013, according to Stat Counter, Google Chrome has a 37%
worldwide usage share of web browsers making it the most widely used web
browser in the world. Net Applications, however, indicates that Chrome is
only third when it comes to the size of its user base, behind Internet
Explorer and Firefox.

In September 2008, Google released the majority of Chrome's source code

as an open source project called Chromium, on which Chrome releases are
still based.

INTERNET EXPLORER
Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows
Internet Explorer, commonly abbreviated IE or MSIE) is a series of
graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the
Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, starting in 1995. It was first
released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95 that year.
Later versions were available as free downloads, or in service packs, and
included in the OEM service releases of Windows 95 and later versions of
Windows.

Internet Explorer is one of the most widely used web browsers, attaining a
peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003. Its usage share has
since declined with the launch of Safari (2003), Firefox (2004), and Google
Chrome (2008), each of which now has significant market share. Estimates
for Internet Explorer's overall market share range from 27.4% to 54.13%,
as of October 2012 (browser market share is notoriously difficult to
calculate). Microsoft spent over US$100 million per year on Internet
Explorer in the late 1990s, with over 1000 people working on it by 1999
Google Chrome is supposed to be based on the same rendering engine as
Apple's Safari web browser, which many people do indeed say runs
better/faster than Internet Explorer. It also performs better on the Acid3
rendering test than Internet Explorer.

In terms of features, Google Chrome has tools to work with web

applications in their own windows and even putting shortcuts to those web
apps on the computer. Internet Explorer is a more traditional browser
which includes a search bar in the toolbar and more program options. In
Google Chrome, there is one big box for both web addresses and Google
search, as opposed to IE 8 which has two separate boxes for the same
purpose. There is also more room to view the page in Google Chrome, as the
File, Edit, etc. toolbar has been replaced with just two options: "Page" and
"Wrench" menus with all the same commands. The tabs are displayed in the
very very top of the screen where normally the title goes, and the status
bar on the bottom is smallest and pops up only when needed so as to
maximize space. In IE, it is fixed there.

One of the most interesting and unique aspects of the Google Chrome
browser is how it works behind the scenes. It uses multiple processes,
similar to an operating system, so if a java web app would slow down the
browser or something would cause a crash, only a single tab is effected and
everything else keeps working. Another thing is that it uses a new "V8" tool
for working with Java to increase performance.

Internet Explorer is part of Windows and may launch faster, but

performance is not much difference between the two, aside from the fact
that having Java run quickly is an important aspect of Chrome. In terms of
the interface, Chrome is highly simplistic yet draws elements of its GUI
from both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

In conclusion, the browsers are different and it's hard to say if one is
better than the other. Depending on your personal preferences, you may
see it either way.When a massive spam attack posted violent and
pornographic images across the news feeds of many Facebook users last
year, many wondered how hackers had launched the attack. Turns out, it
was by exploiting a vulnerability in users’ web browsers.

The event shed light on an often-overlooked issue of online security, your

web browser. There are many browsers available, such as Mozilla Firefox,
Google Chrome, and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. But the real question is:
which browser offers the most protection from malware, adware, viruses,
and hackers?

Many browsers are fighting for market share, and therefore paying more
attention to their security, but popularity and security are not always
equal.

A recent Accuvant study revealed that Chrome (the second most popular
browser) ranks as the most secure web browser when compared to Internet
Explorer (the most popular) and Firefox. Interestingly, this month the
German government named Chrome the most secure browser, perhaps
lending weight to the study. However, critics have pointed out that the
study was commissioned by Google (creator of Chrome), and the findings
may therefore be skewed.

Still, according to the study, Chrome ranks the highest in creating and
putting into use new safety measures to boost its security, with Internet
Explorer only slightly behind Chrome. Firefox was deemed the least secure
in the study.

Despite these recent findings, the browser wars remain a hot-button issue,
with various entities dubbing some browsers more secure than others.
During the 2011 hacker conference, Pwn2Own, hackers attacked four
popular browsers: Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and
Google Chrome. The hackers were able to quickly compromise Internet
Explorer and Safari. In fact, these hackers were able to hack the
browsers so thoroughly that they managed to write files on the hard drive
of the computer they were attacking. Interestingly (and contrary to the
Accuvant study findings), Chrome and Firefox both resisted hacking attacks
during the exercise.Regardless of the browser, manufacturers are always
working to ensure users can enjoy surfing the web safely and securely—and
that’s the good news. The bad news, as the Pwn2Own conference revealed,
is that cybercriminals worldwide are also working hard to figure out new
ways to hack your browser.
It is quite common for Twitter and Facebook to get lumped together with
nearly 25 other sites into a single category – social media. While there are
definite similarities between the networks, there are far more differences.

When writing and sharing content, we must consider the audience of each
platform. Knowing whom we are writing for will influence the word choice,
formatting, and posting schedule.

By simply taking the same information and sharing it across a variety of

social networks, the message will likely fall flat. Instead, customize your
writing style for each target audience.

Social media is at the center of everyone’s online life. Whether writing for
business or pleasure, let’s take a look at the differences between Facebook
and Twitter. As of December 31, 2012, Facebook boasts 1.06 billion active
users. Of those, 618 million (just over half) check in daily.

By the end of 2012, 21% of the global internet population used Twitter on
a regular basis. Each month, 288 million people sign in at least once.

The popularity of Facebook and Twitter differ by age ranges. Just over
30% of Facebook users are younger than 34. Meanwhile, 45% of users are
over 45.

Alternately, Twitter has a much younger demographic. Nearly half of all

users are under the age of 34 and only 30% are over 45. A recent study
found that between 2010 and 2012, the average age of Facebook users
went up two years. Meanwhile, the average age of Twitter users when down
in the same time frame.

When writing for the two different networks, it is important to take into
consideration the age and size of the audience.

Twitter posts need to appeal to a younger crowd. Writing for Facebook

should have a mature tone.

Some Facebook users don’t bother posting to Twitter because they feel the
smaller audience doesn’t justify the effort. However, proponents of Twitter
think size doesn’t matter. There are other benefits to posting on the social
media superstar. Facebook users connect with friends, family, colleagues
and other acquaintances. They use the network to share commentary, post
interesting content in the form of videos and photos, and engage in
activities (like polls or games).

More importantly, most Facebook connections are founded in an offline

relationship. This means users tend to have a stronger blond and greater
degree of loyalty. Therefore, writing for Facebook usually has more
influence.

While offline relationships are possible on Twitter, they aren’t as common.

Therefore, the interactions on this social network tend to be less personal.
Twitter is used more as a listen exercise. Users listen in on what the
target audience is discussing. That way, they can stay up-to-date on
industry trends and give users what they want.

This social network is appealing to users because of the amazing search

capabilities. Being able to segment content based on topic is a feature
Facebook doesn’t offer. Twitter users take advantage of hash tags,
trending topics, and saved searches. Twitter is used more as a listen
exercise. Users listen in on what the target audience is discussing. That
way, they can stay up-to-date on industry trends and give users what they
want.

By taking advantage of these tools, Twitter users have a larger circle of

influence compared to Facebook. It has been reported that nearly all the
activity and engagements with Tweets happen within the first hour of
posting. On the other hand, Facebook interactions can go on for hours or
even days.

This means Facebook has a timeless quality about it. Posts are like an
ongoing conversation – people will eventually get to it. When writing for
Facebook, users should share information that will be just as relevant two
or three weeks from now. Content writing doesn’t rely on time for
effectiveness.

Meanwhile, Twitter users are worried about the here and now. They use
the network for real-time communication. When writing for Twitter, share
only the most pertinent, time sensitive information. Outdated news will be
skipped – it was already covered by thousands of other people before you
got around to it. Because of Twitter’s real-time communication, it is
important to post content several times per day. This helps reach as many
users as possible because you have a better chance of posting while they
are reading.

Facebook utilizes Edge Rank algorithm. This shows users the most relevant
posts. EdgeRank determines relevancy by assessing the number of likes and
comments a post receives. Therefore, to get seen by as many people as
possible, you’ll need to post the most engaging, useful, relevant information
for your target audience.

Does this mean you’ll need to spend a ton of time writing to meet the needs
of your target audience? Not at all. Facebook users generally post one or
two times per week. Twitter users post the same information several times
per day. Neither strategy requires excessive writing – simply smart writing
that is distributed at the optimal times. Before sharing content on Twitter,
take a close look at the post title. Twitter thrives on actionable phrases.
If the post title doesn’t attract attention and demand action, consider
pulling a single line from the article itself. Use this as the foundation of
your Tweet.

Be aware of the character restriction when writing your Tweet. Make your
Tweet easy to Re-Tweet. When adding the characters in your Twitter
handle, the Re-Tweet still needs to be less than 140 characters.
Therefore, your original post shouldn’t be more than 80 or 90 characters.
Also, be aware of your target audience’s primary interest. Try to include a
keyword in your post that will appeal to them; then, turn the keyword into
a hashtag to get even more followers.Facebook doesn’t have a character
restriction for posts. Take advantage of this. Play up your personal
relationship with Facebook users. Write your post in a way that will build
community. Try asking a question to get people talking. Also, it is very
important to consider the image in an article before linking to it on
Facebook. A thumbnail of the article image will appear in the post. A good
image makes the update stand out more. If your article doesn’t have an
image, go back and add one. Again, take your target audience into
consideration when writing your update. Make sure your tone and focus
match your audience. While both Twitter and Facebook are found under the
broad umbrella of social media, their uses and audiences are very
different.
