And since the trend nowadays is the social media, here is a news (maybe some of you already know this) Google announced a new social media of its own, called Google Wave. It's still in beta and being tried to see if it's going to be a success. The concept of wave seems very interesting - a place where you can communicate in real time in a variety of ways. Per the article, "the application from Google Inc. combines elements of e-mail, chat, Wiki documents, blogs and photo-sharing sites to create a form of Internet communication called a 'hosted conversation,' or a 'wave.' "

However, one thing I disagree with is that this service will "replace" email. In the article, they claim "e-mail is a computer version of snail mail. Wave will be something new, a real-time communication system designed specifically for today's faster-paced, multitasking Internet." Yes, real time communication is great, however when I'm on email the whole point of it is that I DON'T want real time communication. If I do, than I would basically call someone up :)
