Google, Apple and Facebook

While Facebook and Google compete in geo-location and social functionality, acquiring the appropriate startups, the next scene unfolds.
Google launches the Apple App Store equivalent for its Chrome browser, the Chrome Web Store. Apparently, in order to please developers and customers, much of the interface is simply copied from the Apple App Store.
The main difference will be in the price, instead of dividing 70% to developers and 30% for processing, Google plans to keep only 5%.
The first target niche is browser games. The launch is scheduled for October 2010.

In the minds of Steve Jobs and Sergey Brin, apparently, it is thought that today's Internet will not be soon. There will be access to the necessary applications combined into one system. And the rest of the Internet will be like something like a remote dangerous area.

Photos from the first presentation of the Chrome Web Store, which was held on August 16 at the Game Developers Conference Europe in Germany:

Small UPD: note that the screenshot shows “Applications that your friends have chosen” below. This suggests that socialization is implied in advance and that the new “social strategy” of Google is now taken into account in all products. Another interesting point is that in other earlier Google products the word “friend” is not actually mentioned. Continuous connections, follow, flows, etc.
