Google Gears to take Gmail, Blogger, Google Docs Offline

Posted on January 12th, 2008 in blogging, news, software by Ankit Duseja

Google GearsGoogle is currently the leader of online world i.e. Internet. But will it continue its leadership in coming years? Thus they are working to take their web applications like Gmail, Blogger, Google Docs, etc. to offline mode. Google Gears developed by Google can be called as next generation of Web Apps as it will take the current web applications offline.

We don’t have exact dates when Google will be doing that. But the development of offline blogger has been started & here is its proof:

Mozilla PrismThe other project from Mozilla known as Prism is also out in Beta stage. If Google Gears is bundled with Mozilla Prism then surely a new generation of web application will come out. These software working together can give same look & feel as of installed software on a local computer.

Moreover, we heard a rumor Microsoft is also developing a competitor for Google Gears. If this happens we will see a complete change in Internet World. Not only web application but basic sites & blogs will also get an offline touch. Thus you can call this combination as Offline Internet!

But if many platforms are built, again there will be a problem. Imagine you will have to install a product from Google for Google products & another for yahoo & another for adobe & this continues till new companies are born. Thus we hope that all the companies should stick on one platform only creating a simpler offline applications world.
