Google appears to be ramping up for some big changes in theChrome Web Store, sending out emails to developers that detail what will need to be done in order to be in compliance with the things to come.

New categories and subcategories will start showing, toward the end of the year, though Google hasn’t detailed them just yet. In fact, Google hasn’t set out an exact timeline for any of this, as far as the information in the email is concerned. It simply says the “near future” is when we’ll start to see the changes implemented.

Whenthe Chrome Web Store launched, it appeared to usher in a new era for life on the Web. But has it lived up to the hype? Are we yet in the generation of people who can comfortably break away from our desktops, working primarily in the cloud? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
