Welcome Chrome

It's good to see that there is a new contender in the desktop browser game: Google Chrome. Especially its speed and the support for standalone web applications looks very promising. All of my web applications seem to work fine and fast so don't miss the chance to give them a try:

CountDownr - Countdown counters, generic and from Google Calendar

SpeedyMarks - Visual bookmarks

WorldClockr - Animated world clocks with sunrise and sunset times

WorldWatchr - Webcams, radar, traffic, ...

Don't miss the chance to add application shortcuts to your Windows desktop, start menu or quick launch. Just open the menu and select Create application shortcuts.
