What is Google Wave, if only he can get the invitation

5 impressive real-life Google Wave use cases

Should you happen to be one of those people, we’ve got a number of different resources that you can use to get up to speed with Google Wave. This time around, however, we wanted to look at how people are actually using it now. From process modelling and customer service, to project collaboration, annotation, and gaming, the examples listed here highlight the power of the newborn medium, and in part, showcase what we can expect as the platform matures.

I, myself, think that collaboration is the ultimate power since managing huge project can't be done by a single person or even a single team. Cross-function, cross-platform, and different time zone are challanges that we have to deal during the course of the project - this is where a collaboration tools is required.

Oh yeah, I'm still standing out there waiting for the invitation. :)

Google Wave is better than Twitter to manage conference chatter

Twitter hashtags – adding the conference name as a hashtag on a tweet – aren’t an ideal solution to tracking a conference

Personally I have no comment on this comparison matter because I don't have Google Wave account. But, in my opinion, Twitter doesn't provide easy way to follow a conference chat for a limited group. I, most of the time, lost in world of tweets when try to connect all chat into single and complete chats.

Mozilla Raindrop: leveraging the email

Built around the idea that “email isn’t fun anymore,” Raindrop aims to be a sort of intelligent inbox filtering system that kicks minor messages and notifications to the sidelines while foregrounding messages from Mom and other important people you actually know. The idea is to make a people-centric communication tool that brings your various services together in one interface, instead of constantly playing a game of “find that browser tab” when you want to check up on a particular conversation or thread.

Wave and Raindrop, both working to leverage the existing email. Should be interesting.
