Google Goes Offline With 'Gears' -- Google Mashup -- InformationWeek

Google Goes Offline With 'Gears' -- Google Mashup -- InformationWeek

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

  • A local server, to cache and serve application resources (HTML, JavaScript, images, etc.) without needing to contact a server
  • A database, to store and access data from within the browser
  • A worker thread pool, to make web applications more responsive by performing expensive operations in the background
