News Commentary: Google Wave – Another Chance
On Sundays I offer comments on some of the most interesting information technology stories that I have found on the web that week. Please feel free to join in the discussion or suggest other stories.
About a week ago, I wrote a post about how disappointed I was with Google Wave after using it for six months. It got a lot of feedback that essentially said that I was simply not using it correctly. That caused me to start looking for use cases and case studies. I came upon many, but none that I liked enough to recommend. Then someone sent me a link to a new post by Cory Bohon from MacLife. I thought that it did a great job of showing the many ways that Google Wave could be useful for the average person. Take a look at it below:
MacLife – 20 Real-World Uses for Google Wave by Cory Bohon
While, I still don’t exactly grok Google Wave, I am willing to admit that Cory makes some fantastic suggestions on ways that it can, is, and should be useful. I plan to work through a few of his examples this week and will be sure to give you some feedback. As I have said before, I really got excited by the promise of Google Wave and hope that it can become something truly transformational and useful for me, No matter what, this story is a very good one that I recommend for all Information Professionals.
What do you think about this topic? Do you agree or disagree with me? Do you have a recommended news story for next week? Please share your ideas below.
That is my Information Technology Thought of the Day (ITTOD) for January 17, 2010 by Scott Coughlin.
