TechCrunch50 conference opens today in San Francisco.

The list of 50 finalists, which will present during 3 days event has just been published. All companies look good but I already sold on one of them — GoodRec, which offers twitter-digg style reviews service (via web or mobile) looks like the brilliant idea, and if execution is good they certainly going to be the winner.

Today Google released its web browser, called Chrome. Go and get it. Really.

It’s fantastic with the great user experience, wicked fast JavaScript (3x faster than Firefox and 75% faster than Safari based on Bubblemark test) and supports both ActiveX and Firefox plugins! Even Silverlight works although there is a minor issue with canvas updates.
