The Chrome OS is an operating system (OS) created by Google which main characteristic is based on the network. This means that the only software you need is a web browser.

The manufacturer takes the premise that all activities are conducted daily on the Internet, our computer thus becomes a "dumb terminal" where only tipeamos web site addresses and execute our tasks.

At the moment there is a " pilot program "(for residents) to test the OS on which Google provides a Notebook Cr-48 (ugly name!) it takes to boot a brief 10 seconds. So what we see on screen is a minimalist web browser: Chrome.

How is Chrome OS?

As we begin our session with the computer using Gmail, we access our mail, contacts, calendar and chat. The browser sync and keep our state in case the notebook fails, exploited, stolen or you simply logging in to another machine with Chrome OS and keep all the state it was: open tabs in the same order, the documents "self -saved "with the last words typed and chat with someone asking" are you there? ".

To edit documents online have the Google Docs, where you can write text, complete spreadsheets, making "Powerpoint presentations." Also through the Chrome Market we have access to hundreds of free and paid applications that offer solutions to all the needs we have: productivity, lifestyle, communication and most importantly, games.

Some pros

Todd is updated TooDo alone, ie the operating system, which basically consists of being a webbrowser, is regularly updated to keep us safe from the internet and the latest online innovations to date.
The system is super lightweight and running quickly, we think that technically the entire processor and computer memory is dedicated exclusively to sail "comfortable" on the Internet. And that's a lot of processing power and speed in 2011.

Some points against

Have all our files, photos, videos and upload to the network identity is a bit scary if someone managed to figure out our personal access key.

So ...

All this could not have existed a few years ago, it took a lot of fast computers and memory, internet, a society that increasingly turns to the network to share knowledge, the development of HTML5, Web 2.0, the appearance of Cloud computing, mobile telephony, cheaper costs and all that to put our lives-compressed-on multiple servers in the world.

The Chrome OS is a good approach to a new operating system, to shake the Microsoft Windows saga that was to dominate the home market for over 20 years and worry-at least, the rebound in OS X from Apple. It has good advantages especially for its speed and simplicity of use and integration of the powerful and great multipurpose "Google world".

What is Twitter?

Twitter emerges as a tool similar to a blog but in which we limited our number of characters per article to write 140 letters. It resembles a box where we place our "status" (as in the MSN Messenger or gTalk) where you write briefly your current mood, what are you doing, a thought or phrase. Currently links to blogs or share news, photos and videos.

Just do not get it! To which I use?

Throughout the remainder of this report, we'll try to answer that question. Many people still have never used Twitter ask if there blogs, IM, or Facebook the new service was needed. The reality is that Twitter introduced new concepts that did not exist and it was so strong. On the one hand to have a limited capacity forces the text you type to be concise and to the point. On the other hand there are new definitions and roles as the "followers" (did not exist before) and explain a little better below.

New concepts: followers and real-time news

Unlike Facebook, where two people to contact both must be accepted, on Twitter you can follow another person without her to be our "friend". That is the concept of Follower. And we can go to many people and others may be interested in following us and what we say in our tweets.
The other concept that was born with Twitter is the real-time news and created or reported by the same twitter. I will explain, when the service won an important critical mass of users and still be able to tweet from your mobile phone, began to broadcast news and developments long before they appear on TV or radio. A good example was when a plane crashed in New York , where the accident was covered in real time on twitter, that is, as I went through the people who were in the vicinity of the place. And all that coverage was before it hits CNN or other media.

No intermediaries: Celebrities on Twitter

When generating a direct link between "follower and followed" our Time Line we can link with news writing celebrities, famous, trademark or other characters that interest us. The novelty of this is that there has never been as direct a route relationship between the "fan" and "God." The other day I heard that Alanis Morissette was pregnant by her own words in your tweet. Think before to learn of such news was still a circuit much longer and complicated: the singer's representative notifies half, then that raises the intermediary release (Reuters) and finally reaches some local online newspaper then discuss some announcer on the radio.

Facebook Vs Twitter

If I have Facebook, you need to have Twitter? are not the same? Answer: They are not the same. While there are social networks because we link with various individuals and share comments and opinions are very different. One of the differences and said and lies in the connection between users is not necessarily bidirectional and Facebook. Also Twitter is characterized by very simple: a short text, perhaps a link and go. Facebook is a cluster of services: upload photos and videos, events calendar, online games, polls and much more. The simplicity of Twitter makes it very practical for use from mobile phones to read so as to update the state of their own.

Natural history: the hashtags

Twitter was born in early 2006 and was gradually changing and there were improvements. A very interesting feature that emerged by the users themselves were the "hashtags." The hastags are labels used to identify the Twitt and it is used and character #. For example could be used # music , # movies or now it is increasingly common to see job search tags with # employment . They are very useful when real-time search and filter information.

So Twitter is for ...

In conclusion we can say I do not know specifically what it is Twitter, you probably have several different functions depending on how each person uses it. But perhaps generalizing a bit longer because of what we described above we can say that Twitter is an online communication tool, bounded and concise.

How to start?

If I could convince you, at least a little bit, that Twitter serves and is useful for something, you can start by going to twitter.com and create an account with your username. Recommendation: record a short name!.
