Google Chrome : eBay Chrome

September 2nd, 2008 | Product Trends

In my month of posts I'm going to have to get creative some days. Today is the big day Google is set to release it's new browser, "Chrome." So today's eBay items, will feature "chrome" in the title. (see below)

Download Chrome, and see how it treats your eBay listings, your blog, your ecommerce website, etc. Make sure as people adopt this new browser that what you've worked hard to build will appear normal.

Chrome Browser Screenshot Conspiracy Theorists! On your mark...get set...

Let me just take this opportunity to tell the people who (have already begun to) say Google will use Chrome to take over the world. They are already saying how Google will peer into your computer and get your top secret information. They'll no doubt read every one of your important "please pass this on to ten people" emails. They will look at the pictures of you, dressed as the Riddler, at the comic book convention. And there's no question that Google will steal your credit card and banking information, they need the money.

This mind set has two big problems. First is, you are a geek. You are not that important. No one wants to look at your stuff. You are in more danger when you're up gaming with your BFF in Romania at 2AM. Calm down.

The second point is, no one is forcing you to use it. But you will...because Google and Microsoft have put things in your water.

Look at all the cool chrome things on eBay. Shiny - you're getting sleepy - veerrrry sleeepy...
