What’s Happening Around the Web

Image Space Media likes to stay updated with the latest headlines around the web and we want to keep you in the loop, too! Here's some interesting buzz that caught our attention this week.

Get Savvy with Twitter 101
Has Twitter finally solved its user retention problem?

Last Thursday, the social networking website launched Twitter 101 for Business, a beginners’ guide to tweeting that includes ideas, tips, lingo, and case studies for businesses that want to make the most of their Twitter account. “From local stores to big brands, and from brick-and-mortar to internet-based or service sector, people are finding great value in the connections they make with businesses on Twitter,” the guide explains. Check out Twitter 101.

The Low-Down on Google’s Chrome OS
In our last update on ‘What’s Happening Around the Web,’ we highlighted Microsoft COO Kevin Turner’s excitement when Apple asked him to take down Microsoft’s new ‘Laptop Hunter’ ads. This week, Turner may cease to do cartwheels after Google announced the launch of its new Chrome OS, which will be available for consumers in the second half of next year.

Chrome OS promises to be an open source, lightweight desktop operating system that will compete directly with OS X, Windows, and Linux. According to the Official Google Blog, “speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS.” Considering that Windows contributes about $11 billion of annual operating income for Microsoft (about half of its total), we would be pretty scared if we were Microsoft. Meanwhile, Microsoft continues to attack Google’s most lucrative business, search, with its recent launch of Bing.

We wonder what battle will be next in the war between Google and Microsoft.
