The latest buzz (sorry!) on the interweb is Google Buzz (http://buzz.google.com/) is the new all singing and dancing facebook/twitter type thing, from Google.
So while everyone is clamoring to get a piece of the Google Buzz action, spare a thought for the poor Google Wave. Wasn’t that supposed to be the social media’s next best thing? It didn’t stay around for long, is anyone still using it?
And has anyone used Buzz yet?
What are your thoughts?
Wave is designed to be a ground-up reinvention of the way we communicate and collaborate.
Google has given a sneak peek of its latest project – Google Wave. Wave is designed to be a ground-up reinvention of the way we communicate and collaborate. Think instant messaging, but with the open platform potential for plugging in Twitter and other methods of communication, too.
For the moment, Google Wave isn’t a public launch – that’ll be later in the year – but it will be made available to a small number of developers at Google’s Google I/O conference in San Francisco, taking place today.
In a conference call with TechRadar, Lars Rasmussen, Software Engineering Manager, explained about Wave. “It’s a communication and collaboration tool we’ve been working on for a couple of years down in Sydney.
“A Wave is a single shared space where two or more users can exchange real time dialogue, photos, videos, maps and documents in what we call a Wave. Everyone can reply to a Wave, people can come and go and you can drag and drop information from all over the web.”
