With the inclusion of such a powerful JavaScript engine, V8, in Chrome, Google have really paved the way for the next generation of web applications to perform faster in the browser. Now, the development of these next gen apps are still in its early days, but we here at GizmoStyle have compiled a list of the top 10 best Google Chrome experiments so far. Here they are:
The Social Collider reveals cross-connections between conversations on Twitter.
This experiment explores these possibilities by starting with messages on the microblogging-platform Twitter. One can search for usernames or topics, which are tracked through time and visualized much like the way a particle collider draws pictures of subatomic matter. Posts that didn’t resonate with anyone just connect to the next item in the stream. The ones that did, however, spin off and horizontally link to users or topics who relate to them, either directly or in terms of their content.
2. Browser Talk
Speak into your microphone and through browser personas
3. SmallTalk
it’s the nonsense chatter that we as humans use to fill the spaces in between our meaningful communication. We use small talk to connect with each other, even if it means relating on a one-dimensional basis. Small talk makes it ok to communicate, even when there is nothing really to say
4. DomTris
A great Tetris clone.
BallDroppings has already been implemented in other languages, you can download it for Mac or Windows here: http://www.balldroppings.com .. it’s a musical playtoy that looks like abstract pong
6. Browser Ball
Open new windows. Throw a beach ball through them. If I tell you it’s less lame than it sounds, will you give it a shot?
7. Ball Pool
Start by shaking the browser, then create new balls (click on empty space), move some others (drag) and reset the screen (double click).
8. Twitch
TWITCH is a series of minimal games within small Chrome windows. How fast can you solve them all? Each game only responds to clicking; mouse position and keyboard are ignored.
Can you stay on the perilous belt? Can you accurately aim the booming cannon? Can you navigate through the electric pyramids? Can you solve the eerie labyrinth?
A small experiment in generating puzzles using multiple browser windows and images or Flash-driven video.
10. Google Gravity
“Everything that goes up must come down. But there comes a time when not everything that’s down can come up.”
George Burns couldn’t probably imagine that his quote would eventually also be applied Google’s main page.
Some of these browser based apps can work on Firefox, Safari etc. However, these work best on Chrome. If you haven’t got Chrome yet, get it here: Download Google Chrome
