Google Now will soon be integrated into Google Chrome
It looks like Google Now is going to be available soon to more people than just the select few who happen to have an Android device running Jelly Bean. Namely, those of you who use the Chrome web browser, or who have a Chrome OS device, will soon be able to take advantage of Google Now’s many convenient features through Chrome’s desktop notification system.
The Google Chrome team apparently has added a “skeleton for Google Now for Chrome” to the Chromium code base, as discovered by François Beaufort and announced on Google+. Google confirmed the addition of the code early on Saturday, but didn’t clarify further: “We’re always experimenting with new features in Chrome, so have nothing to announce at this time.”
This makes sense, though, as Google seeks to unify its product offerings across OSes and devices. Google Now is also a great way to draw users to the services that earns Google money, such as Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Search, and others. I, for one, am extremely interested in how this will ultimately be implemented, and will definitely keep my eye open for further developments.
