‘Google Gears’ To Take Web Apps Offline

by DJ Neawedde | 31st May 2007

When categorizing this post, I felt sort of odd checking ‘Search Engines’ since Google is so much more than that now. Today at Google Developer Day 2007, Google is set to announce it’s latest venture into the offline world, Google Gears.

Gears is, as they describe, an “open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using JavaScript APIs.” Google Gears is being offered as an open-source technology for developers to extend any web applications offline, not just Google products.

The Google Gears Beta is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
