Both Mark and myself promised that we were not going to talk about ChromeOS but as you can tell from the title we kind of fell off that plan but at the same time we did try and talk about something a little more interesting, that being Techmeme. The news there being that they have added some more human curators to make sure we get the *cough* best *cough* out there.

Of course we both noticed that even with all the linked blogs to the news about ChromeOS neither one of us show up in the list. It’s understandable as to why my story at The Inquisitr doesn’t get listed but I didn’t think that SiliconAngle; which is where Mark’s post is, had been blacklisted would be ignored. Mark assured me that as far as he knows he hasn’t done anything to cause Gabe to blacklist him.

The interesting conversation really has to be near the end when we both turn to talking about some new web based operating system that Google is going to launch in a year. Both of us also think we may have figured out the long term play behind ChromeOS and really if we’re right it could be a really interesting time.
