If you are one of those users that really likes the Google Now app on your smartphone or tablet, you will probably be happy to know that Google is bringing the technology to their Chrome browser and Chrome OS. The two pieces of software have had a flag for several weeks to enable Google Now in the developer editions, but there were no servers available for a connection. Google apparently is making progress on turning on the feature and has lit up some servers as users now get a notification that asks whether they want to enable Google Now Cards. The feature is present in the Chrome browser on OS X 10.8 and Windows 8. By incorporating Google Now cards into the Chrome browser, Google may be able to expand awareness of the technology to users beyond those with the most recent Android devices.
In addition to the presence of Google Now cards, it looks like Google has improved the control panel for setting notification preferences for web apps and extensions a user may have installed. Joining Google Now in these settings are Google+ Photos, Google Documents, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Gmail, HootSuite, NYTimes, Scratchpad, Seesmic, and TweetDeck among others.
What do you think? Are Google Now Cards something you would welcome on your desktop or will it be too much information?
