SourDough2.0

Wordpress 2.7 passed the 100 000 download mark in just 20 hours.

WordPress version 2.7 is now available, with a brand new backend with many enhancements including editing and replying to comments, QuickPress – a way to post direct from the dashboard, the return of Press This – a bookmarklet that will let you post about any website without having to go to your blog, and much more.

A video about the new version can be seen here, and even more about the new release can be read on the WordPress Dev Blog.

Google have released a web browser, Google Chrome it uses the Webkit rendering engine (same as Safari) so there shouldn’t be much more work for web developers compatibility wise, which is good.
Although personally I’m not sure about this browser, it doesn’t have anything really ’special’ and is missing some things like page zooming, it might be good to integrate it with Google’s other services as well.

It is in beta at the moment so lets hope it can get better, more info at the Googleblog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html
