Review of the Year 2009 and Trends Watch, Information Today
Information Today, the publishing company that issues Searcher: The Magazine for Database Professionals, which I've been extremely fortunate to have published with since May 2002, offers its insights into past events in the information industry and upcoming trends through Paula J. Hane's Review of the Year 2009 and Trends Watch--Part 1 (January 4, 02010) and Review of the Year 2009 and Trends Watch--Part 2 (January 7, 02010). I'm pleased to see that two of her What's Hot for 2010 items are "Collaboration" and "The Wave (Google Wave, that is)-new real-time communication and collaboration tool", both of which were the focus of my current submission to Searcher, which I've grandiosely titled "Time, Space and Google: Towards a Real-Time, Synchronous, Personalized, Collaborative Web." If it's accepted for publication I expect it would appear in the March 2010 issue.

I wish Google Wave enhanced Power point collaborative tools
ReplyDeleteGoogle Wave is in a preview edition by invitation only. There are some Wave gadgets available but it will take you some digging to find them since, as I discovered, the site they're on does not appear to be directly linked to your Wave installation. Perhaps these tools already exist in a primitive form. Here's the URL to the base page where you'll find a link to these Wave extensions (gadgets and robots): http://code.google.com/apis/wave/. If you search Google for "google wave gadgets" or "google wave extensions" you'll also find some Web sites focused on that topic. Google is also rolling out a communications protocol (Google Wave Federation Protocol) through which non-Google Wave servers can interconnect with one another. You might also want to check out O'Reilly Media's new book Google Wave: Up and Running by Andres Ferrate that's available in a Rough Cuts edition online and in downloadable PDF for $15 US. Quite a bargain.
ReplyDeleteThanks David :)
ReplyDeleteI was searching some days ago, but didn't find it.
Cause ppt's have to be sooo watched over again and again it would be really useful to be done in a team (different parts, same format).
Of course also new content between people who don't even live in the same city.
Google people are smart. I'm sure they'll get it.
This will be in my next Searcher magazine article, but the Google Code's Google Wave APIs Samples Gallery (http://wave-samples-gallery.appspot.com/) is where you'll find ALL the extensions (gadgets and robots) for Wave. The link I gave you has a direct link on the front page only to Wave's "featured extensions."
