I wanted to check out tapinko.com, but they block Chrome browsers. Is that what they meant by taking on Google?

I had to fire up Firefox.

Using Opera I can't access the site:

"In order to maximize your experience at TapInko, please upgrade your browser to Firefox 3 or Internet Explorer 7, Safari 3, or Chrome. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected]."

I haven't seen a message like this for years. F A I L.

I'd rather see a broken layout then being sent away.

the title isn't really correct, they didn't take on Google, they just sat on the sidelines while Google tried and failed.

Tapinko didn't really succeed yet, they just hope to win where Google failed.

'they just sat on the sidelines'... is kind of not really correct either though... but if you want to keep the sports theme going, TapInko seemed to be playing for another team.

I think they'll have the multi browser issues situated soon... at least I hope. I'm guessing within 1-2 months at most.

Too bad they're creating a service for a declining industry :\

Declining yes... Billions of dollars still? yes. Potential to possibly help an entire industry? absolutely.
