Google Wave
I'm not sure what to make of Google Wave just yet. It seems to me like it's a collaboration tool more than anything - you'll be able to share and create documents with rich text and multimedia support, and these projects are updated real time to allow easy communication between participants. Still, there is Google inbox, chat and Picasa integration, and it's been said that this is Google's response to Twitter. Based on the screenshots it looks like it'll be a good way to communicate with friends, but the description makes Wave sound like something entirely different. All I know is that I like the user interface, and I'm happy it's open to developers.
You can throw your name into the hat to try Google Wave as soon as it becomes available at the link below.

Google Adds Desktop Updates to Gmail

Alright, yes. I love Sparrow and try to use it as much as possible BUT what am I to do when I'm working from Windows? Truthfully I usually just head back to the web browser version of gmail. The good news is that Google improved their already excellent webmail service this wee by adding desktop
Sparrow: Twitter-Like Email for your Mac
about 1 year ago - 6 comments
I've tried a TON of different email clients over the years, including all of the staples like Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple's Mail.app and Windows Live Mail. For whatever reason I never end up sticking with any of them, and after a few days I end up back in my web browser using gmail's web client (which
Giving Up Social

On Fat Tuesday this year I was puzzling over what I should give up for Lent. I couldn’t decide and I couldn’t decide, until I heard Leo Laporte of TWiT joke that he should give up Twitter. So I thought why not? Heck I’ll take it a step further and cut out all social networking
Google Voice

I was fortunate enough to get invites to both Google Voice and Google Wave this week, but for now I’m going to stick with discussing Google Voice. This is mostly because nobody I know has Google Wave yet and, for a product that’s about collaboration with other people, it makes it hard to form an
Tangled Up In Blu

One of my favorite things about Mac OSX are the stylish applications it has. Â Applications like Twitterific, NewsFire, Blogo and even Colloquy are all shining examples of beautiful programs that I love to use. Â However today I'm not talking about a Mac app, I'm talking about a really cool Windows Twitter client called Blu. Â The
I’m tired of Twitter, kind of want to leave

I won't, but all of the drama that has resulted from Twitter putting out a featured list of users has really put me off. It's even worse that the most vocal voices are coming from those that are already super users on Twitter. Leo Laporte? Sarah Lane? I have no beef with them but come

These days with the seemingly endless number of social networks it quickly becomes difficult to keep up with all of them. Â Micro-blogging sites like Twitter, Pownce, Plurk, Zannel, and Jaiku all offer their own features and are good enough on their own to pull in an audience of users, but as a result it seems
