This is Google's preview page for Google Wave. Google wave is an up and coming collaboration technology that is being developed by Google. It allows for conversations to occur and grow in a nonlinear fashion. Conversation members can converse and add information to the wave as if they were instant messaging. They can also add images, links, and videos to further enrich the content. Then members can go back to old content and edit or correct it. This is just the basic premise behind Google Wave, there is a lot more information on this website. Personally, I think this is the future of conversational technology and will soon become the new standard. It appears that this will just be another phase in the evolution of human literature. Because of this it seemed natural to include this page on my Diigo bookmarks. I'm looking forward to seeing how writing and human speech adapts to this new technology.

This article is a very interesting one for the computer geeks of the world and maybe even for government. Google is wanting to map out the inside of businesses and large buildings so that you can no only find your way to the building but the nearest door and which stair case to take and which hallway to turn down. Google is starting a new generation of maps online.   Government on the other hand might not like this. If you map out the inside of the building isn't that making it more accessible to terrorists to plan an attack or for thieves to plan and escape after a jewelry heist? Where will google go from there? Could this turn into and invasion of privacy?   What this means to the CIT majors is that almost anything is possible. If google can map out the indoors what is to stop us from doing anything? The sky.... The basement is our limit.

This article talks about a new plug-in that Goole has just come out with that allows you to take the best out of your favorite web browser and use it in IE. Not the most useful tool ever created but still one that keeps life interesting.
