My Thoughts On Google Buzz
Feb 10th
As you may already know, Google has recently launched something called Google Buzz. In this post I will be telling you more about Google Buzz and I will also be sharing my opinions on the service.
How is Google Buzz different?
In my opinion, Buzz is not a copy of Facebook, nor is it a copy of Twittr. Buzz is simply in-between. It is not as complicated as facebook, but is also not as simple as twitter. What makes it different than Twitter is the fact that Buzz lets you comment on other peoples updates and it also lets you upload photos. You man say that Twitter does let you upload photos, but it doesn’t. Twitter only lets you post links to photos and has no native way to attach photos. The only way to post a photo in Twitter is to use a service like Twitic or yfrog. Also, Twitter does not let you comment on other people’s updates. The closest thing to commenting on an update is @replying somebody. The bad thing about an @reply is that it is not connected to a specific tweet, so things can get a little confusing when you are receiving many @replies.

GoogleGoogleGoogleGoogle.com: Google four things at once!
Jan 28th
This is a guest post by RJ:
Ever wanted to be able to Google 4 things at once? Well now you can at googlegooglegooglegoogle.com.
googlegooglegooglegoogle.com is split into 4 frames all with the Google search engine which allows you to search Google simultaneously all within the one window. Each frame is linked to “Google.com”. Which means it has all the options you would get on “Google.com” such as quick links to Web, Images, Videos etc. and the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button. Above each frame you do get the option to search “Google.com” and “Wikipedia.com”; Also the option to close this Google-Frame and Go To a New URL. Since the frames are minimal size and not large enough to view the whole web page at once you do get the two scroll bars. One scroll bar is on the right of the frame (Up and Down) and the other on the bottom of the frame (Left and Right).

Everything you need to know about Google Wave
Oct 2nd
Lately, Google Wave has been all the hype and has continuously been a trending topic on Twitter. I am going to tell you everything you need to know about Google Wave so you too can join the conversation.
Google is claiming that Google Wave is the next big thing. It seems like with Google Wave Google is trying to reinvent email which makes me wonder how Google Wave will turn out.
So what is Google Wave? Google Wave is a place on the internet, sort of like Gmail where you can have conversations with people. Unlike Gmail, Google Wave is all in real time. Google Wave also lets you use other websites and services right from your Google Wave page. For example, you can tweet and read other peoples tweets right from Wave.
Right now, Wave is invitation only but Google is probably going to open it up to the public soon.
Here is a short video by Google about Wave:
So what do you think about Google Wave? Are you going to try it out when it comes available? If anyone has any invitations to give out I would certainly love one so I could test wave and do a review!
