New Google Software Attempts to 'Speed Up Your Web Browsing Experience'
Gary Price writes over on the SearchEngineWatch (SEW) blog that:
As I compose this post, a recent issue of Fortune magazine with Bill Gates on the cover is sitting next to my computer. Fred Voglestein's cover story says, "the darling of search is moving into software—and that's Microsoft's turf."
Let the turf war continue.
Google Labs has just released (beta), web accelerator software thats designed to speed up your online experience and make your surfing faster and more efficient. I'm sure it will also fuel plenty of additional speculation about Google's play in the OS and browser arenas.
If you're wondering, all of the technology was developed by Google.
Google Web Accelerator (GWA) is client software along with a plug-in (about 1.4MB) that's installed on your computer. It's only available for Windows (Win XP or Win 2000 SP3+) and works with Internet Explorer or Firefox. According to Google's Marissa Mayer, this is the first product that she knows of that's built and optimized for broadband web users. She added that dial-up users are also welcome to use the software.
