It seems that Google have huge hopes for their new Chrome web store. Google seemed a bit untouchable up until about two years ago but they have had a lot of failures recently. They seem keen to take on Apple and social media websites like FaceBook, but every time they try to do this they seem to fail. The recent winding down of Google Wave seems just one more sign that the company really has lost its golden touch. It is certain that Google are now feeling a bit desperate to have another great success; it may be that the Chrome web store will help them do this.
The new Chrome web store is likely to have learnt many lessons from the success of the iTunes store. There is likely to be a way for people to rank all the different applications and there are sure to be many of these to choose from. Everything from games to Google TV is likely to be merchandised through this new web store. Apparently it has leaked out that the store is going to have a function that suggests gifts for some of your friends. This really sounds intriguing and probably works the same way as Amazon suggests books to people based on their previous purchases. Some people though, might be a bit concerned that their friends can find out information about their previous purchases – it will be interesting to see how Google manages all this.
I love new ideas so it will be great to see what this Chrome web store really has to offer. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the whole thing is up and running and we can try it out for ourselves. I also hope that there are plenty of innovative applications available and not just the same old same old.
