Speed up !! What’s that ?

Well, I asked the same question when I saw this “speed up” on the top right hand side of my admin page for Wordpress 2.6 Beta 1.

Without knowing what it is, I clicked on the link and I got a pop up window

WordPress 2.6 and Google Gears helps speed things up while blogging

Okay, I see Google Gears. That gives some clue about this “speed up”. If you do not know what Google Gears is,

Google Gears is an open source browser extension that lets developers create web applications that can run offline. Gears provides three key features: Read more here

Luckily, I had Google Gears enabled on my Laptop, so the process was easy. I clicked and  enabled Google Gears for Wordpress. What will happen to Wordpress If I enable it ? Need to check that out !!. Stay tuned for that information.

But, I can’t wait to see what happens when we enable Google Gears for Wordpress . There is only one answer, ” Google” !! This is what I found while Googling it. Thanks for that image also, friend.

Google Gears + Wordpress !! What is it going to be like ? Is it going to be popular ? Will it make Google Gears more popular ?

Update : This feature is now available on all Wordpress.com blogs !! Its named ” Turbo” there. Thanks Balu

Now I love this feature, especially since BSNL is NOT very reliable! Google Gears + WordPress 2.6 FTW!?
