Month: September 2008

  • Well, I made a playlist. That was quick and easy. Have yet to hear any music, though… My guess is that they’re a little overwhelmed (probably by bloggers who want to be the first with a comprehensive review of the service), but that is making it very underwhelming at the moment.

  • Last time, the advertisers were way off (well, depending on your interpretation of their target audience (and given that there’s this, I suppose there is a lot of room for interpretation).

    Here’s a recent Facebook targeted ad, which at least gets it half right:

    As a side note, telling me what “you know” about me makes me a lot less likely to click on your ad. It’s creepy on a whole new level. Even something along the lines of “Hey, are you married and living in Denver? Then click on this!” is light years better than “We know about you.”

  • How long until all the ‘pundits’ (and by pundits I mean, Don Reisinger at TechCrunch, who recently brought me this thought-provoking post that I really liked about Hulu) realize that each tab is running as its own process? It sure seems like it’s running on only 45 MB of memory… until you look a little further down in the Task Manager. Oops, looks like the same set of tabs running in Chrome is actually using twice as much memory! D’oh! I believe that’s what Charles Nutter was getting at in point #2 and #6.

    On the plus side, yeah, the UI is good, and the loading seems at least at fast as Firefox 3 and Safari 3 (I haven’t tried Safari 4 yet, which is evidently supposed to be super fast; FF3 is fast enough for me at this point).
