I installed your chrome app .. however, I can't see the apps page on my new tab ... I did start chromium with the --enable-apps option ... Any one else facing this problem? [My version reads 5.0.342.9 (43360) Ubuntu ]

I believe you need to be on the chromium dev channel. Looks like you are on the beta channel. That's a pretty easy fix though.

yep .. that worked .. thanks .. waiting eagerly for google to release the webstore soon

I haven't heard of Chrome Apps before. Does it step in the toes of cloudomatic?

Thanks, getting in sync with everything coming out from I/O turned out to be very hard.

We don't think so. Some observations:

- were business app focused.

- chrome web store is focused on enhancing chrome, which makes their strategy different.

- were more focused on the overall monetization/distribution layer. The actual cloudomatic.com property is a small piece of that.

- it moves everything forward.
