Never fails…leave it up to Google to create somethign so genius!! Since everyone is on this Twiiter, Facebook and social networking hype, Google decided to create a program that fuses e-mail, instant messaging, and content sharing into something resembling a cross between Twitter, Facebook, and your standard email platform.

Google Wave, which is expected to release later on this year, “combines conversation-type communication and collaboration-type communication,” Lars Rasmussen, a software engineering manager at Google and the project’s co-founder.  What is great about the Wave is it can be shared and it streams live! Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then the playback option lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Yet Another Twitter App!

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

twitdoc500

Okay this Twitter app craze is starting to get out of control, but this one is actually pretty dope! TwitDoc.com allows you to “tweet” documents and photos without having to 1) Upload the item to the internet, 2) Shorten the URL and 3) Post it to your twitter.  TwitDoc.com is short and simple…Just upload your document or photo to their web-based upload form and “wah-lah” it has been “tweeted!”

And although TwitDoc.com is primarily built around the idea of sharing documents (PDF, DOC, XLS, etc.), they also handle many image formats (JPG, GIF, PNG, etc.) and expect to support other file types in the future!
