I’m keeping one eye on my Wave box as I try to follow the Google IO conference while juggling a few other tasks. One significant product announcement that came out of yesterday’s keynotes was the Chrome Web Store.
Yes, it is very nice that Google is now creating a place for web developers to put up a shingle and sell under the Google banner. Google does make it very clear that these are ordinary web apps:
“…Web apps listed in the Chrome Web Store are regular web applications that are built with standard web tools and technologies. The same web applications will run in other modern browsers that support these technologies.”
I repeat, these are Web apps that will run on any browser. For now, there’s a slight advantage to using Chrome: when these apps are installed (so to speak) in this Google browser a shortcut will automatically be created.
The Chrome Store is expected to open its doors later this year.
