Chromium, Facebook and Twitter

I have been using the Chromium web browser now for a few weeks on my Ubuntu Linux system.  It is still a beta product but I have got used to its snappiness and also enjoy some of the extensions available for it. Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.  There is also a new Operating System being developed called Chromium OS which is focused around the browser and web applications such as Goggle Apps.  Both are exciting innovative developments.
