I remember years ago when I had this clunky Palm Treo phone. It felt like you were carrying a brick around, but it was touch screen and I loved it. Palm has always struggled to stay in the market, but I hope they do it with the Pre. Like Apple, I have a place in my heart for Palm. A good article listed here about the coming of the “Pre” will launch with Sprint and later with Verizon. I cant wait.
Social Media – Change your tune
Interesting article by David Chartier from WIRED called “The Future of Social Media: The Walls Come Crumbling Down.”
In this ever changing medium of FaceBook, Twiiter, and Myspace, etc.. they will all need to open their doors.
They will need to intertwine with each other for a optimum user experience. Look at Classmates.com for example.
It’s become useless. Why pay for that when you have FaceBook or Yahoo groups you can create for free.
Catch the Wave – Googling at Google
Google is a great company because it can brainstorm new ideas and concepts that make sense. Although, it is a money machine, Google manages to keep a personal touch in their aura. Their next invention, or should we say re-invention is on the brink of creativity. Im hoping they don’t take over the world. We should look for good things from Google Wave.
Good article; http://tinyurl.com/m8utn4
The company is announcing Google Wave, a new service which–well, it’s one of the most ambitious services that Google or anyone else has cooked up? How ambitious? Project leader Lars Rasmussen says that it began with the question “What might e-mail look like if it were invented today?” And that bold idea seems like it’s understating Wave’s audacity, if anything.
I’m not sure if I can describe Wave in one coherent sentence. It:
- Is a service that looks like a rich piece of client software;
- Behaves like sophisticated threaded e-mail;
- Acts like IM when multiple collaborators are online at once.
- Is one of the most real-time collaborative tools I’ve ever seen.
- Has revision marking and versioning for workgroup editing.
- Has instant photo sharing.
- Allows its functionality to be embedded into blogs and social networks;
- Can serve as a container for OpenSocial applications;
- Has what Google says is a revolutionary spell checker;
- Comes in mobile flavors for Android and iPhone;
- Is an open-source project that lets developers write both Wave extensions (we saw one that grabs tweets and brings them into Wave) and their own servers (which can talk to other Wave servers).
Bing, Bing, Bing – ricochet rabbit
So will Bing be big, or will Bing be boring?
If Bing Crosby were around he could sing you the results. That would be something.
It will be interesting to see how a big money machine takes on Google.
