We came out of beta last month and released our Radio Tuner in a 9.1 update. We’ve been working around the clock on our Browser Center, which was released yesterday in a 9.2 release. This center gives instructions on how to set GoWEB as your homepage in the different browsers. the just released Internet Explorer 9 is in there as  well as Firefox 4 which will be released next week Tuesday.

However, we’d been receiving some concerns about speed and stability and decided to make a crucial change ASAP. Just after sending version 9.2 live, we decided to reduce the “Flash load” of the site. Previously, your headlines were presented to you in an animated format, using the Adobe Flash plugin. This was a pleasant presentation but required users to wait until the headlines scrolled. Also, some  people’s computers couldn’t handle the volume of flash content that well. We decided to reduce the amount of flash used on the site, pushing out a major update in only one night. GoWEB 9.3 went live last night with a slightly different layout and less flash. You can now read the headlines a lot faster and your browser will load the page faster too.

Please enjoy these updates as we continue to evolve the site to serve you better.
