Google's Three-Hour I/O Keynote Boils Down To These Highlights And One Theme: Foundation

Today’s three-hour-long Google I/O keynote came with plenty of announcements, but the company mostly assured us that it is focused on building frameworks that can benefit developers and consumers. We saw a more unified company that needed three hours in one session to get their message across. Breaking today’s keynote up into two days would have disrupted the momentum coming out of a company that closed the day at an all-time high on the stock market. Key areas of the business saw updates, all relaying the important foundation necessary to move Google forward over the next 10 years. From search to maps, everything is getting a new coat of paint, a new polished experience and a focus from every team within the company.

It’s the No. 1 browser in the world, to the tune of?750 million active users, and Google isn’t afraid to tell you all about it.?Oh, it’s also a platform upon which to build apps, so developers should be doing that too. The takeaway is that if you’re building apps on the web, people love Chrome and Chrome offers all of the open tools you need to build gorgeous things. Google+ Whether you think that Google+ is a Facebook competitor or not, the 41 features introduced today will get your attention. The stream itself, which now has 190M monthly active users, is now three-columned and has interactive animations all over the place. Google says that the stream was flat, so it needed a fresh take. If you’re into taking photos, Google has finally integrated all of Nik’s
