The world of browsers has changed over the past few years. If you notice, most new features and updates are about Chrome in the blogging world. Firefox and Internet Explorer do get covered but a lot less.
This has been reflected in the growth of Chrome, along with the decline of Internet Explorer. Firefox seems to be stagnating and even declining a bit in the past six months.
Browser share jul2011 thumb Browser Wars: Chrome is the Only Browser with Growth!
Last year Internet Explorer was at 51% and has steadily declined to 42% by the end of July 2011. In the same time-frame, Firefox which was at 31% has also declined to somewhere around 27%. Chrome which was at 10% is now sitting at an impressive 22%.
This mean Chrome is the only browser which is actually growing.

Why is Chrome so successful?

Unlike Firefox and IE, which treat their browsers versions as reinvented new software released once a year, Google treats Chrome like ‘work in progress’. Small updates are made periodically every few weeks.
Chrome also has continuity for its users because of small but many updates. When people upgraded to Firefox 4, there was a big change from the UI of the browser to other features. The same could be said about Internet Explorer 9.
At the moment it seems like Chrome will soon become the most used browser, unless IE or Firefox comes up with something really different.

If you are a web artist and have a penchant for checking out infographics or even creating them, then Visual.ly is a neat service 
.


Data can be visualised and understood a lot better when an infographic of it is presented. A infographic is basically a large poster like image, which presents data in a flow. Most people can learn a lot more from a infographic within minutes compared to reading about it.

Visual.ly Features

  • I could skim through several categories and look up relevant infographics or simply search on a topic. When you look up an infographic, it shows who created the infographic and where it was published.
Infographics explore visually thumb A Search Engine and Directory for Infographics   Visually
  • If you register with an account, users can also register their work with Visual.ly. This could be a great way to drive traffic to your website or blog.
I liked the fact, that people who painstakingly create infographics have a single directory to share their work. It can also help reach out to the highest possible audience.
Here is a video presentation on Visually.
