After the crystal

Posts Tagged 'Google Wave'

As you know this blog yesterday changed his domain. This means that, although the same blog, instead of going through rorpieth.es direction you should start to come through traselcristal.es. Of course, to this chaos you can not keep going for a while both the blog and its contents through the old address.

To celebrate this event with you my readers and, incidentally, give a little push over the project of the World Day of Blogs Comment On 2009 I decided to divide Wave 15 invitations to Google, Google's social network and from which I gave my first impressions here . What Google has to do with the Day Wave comment? Here are the bases you will have to meet to receive your invitation:

• You must write in your blog entry talking about the World Day to Comment on Blogs 2009 linked in that post all the information about the event. This information is found HERE .
• Once posted your entry you must leave a comment here letting the link to your blog to confirm that you have done correctly.
• In your comment you must let me also your Gmail.
• The invitations you'll send in the leave me your mail and confirm that your blog entry is correct.
• Just be fifteen input and have from time to December 10. Do not be distributed or invitation after that date even though they have left.
• Invitations to Google Wave can take some time to come. One way to speed up the process is, before the invitation to ask me first request to Google using this link .

After the crystal, after waiting a long time, has finally managed to access the Beta version of Google's already popular Wave, the new Google social network. And that is, As I told you months ago , the Wave Equation (Gmail + Messenger + Facebook + Twitter + wiki + Google = Google Docs Wave), has raised many expectations on the Internet. The point is that, for now, this new social network offers only 20% of what was promised, though with this data we consider that we are still at a pre-beta version of what the outcome will reaffirm our hopes.

The newborn's social network Google is taking its first steps in the network, steps which has already reached above and beyond what we offer, such as limited network while successful as Twitter. In fact you could say that this sucker is, so far, a kind of super advanced twitter.

Some of the differences between the two social networks are, for example, that while the twits have a maximum length of 120 characters, the waves not only have no limit, but have a text editor inherited from Google Docs to give them the format and the colors you want. The waves are not public as with the blue bird's social network but, like you can with the private messages on facebook, you decide from which friends you want to start that topic of conversation and when they will answer the rest of those who you have selected can also read the responses. Thus, we could say that a wave is a kind of microbloging but something more like a Microfor: an extensive conversation everything you want from various people.

These discussions are sent to your home page in an inbox very similar to that of GMail. With this concept in the reception of messages can be grouped into folders, you can search among all the messages to find one in particular or you want you can mark it as spam.

And these are all the options out there for now. Still can not manage or try more gadgets than those related to the word processor, nor your own profile, but I'm sure that in a short time these options and more will also be operational. Perhaps when finally the child grows and evolves to Google Beta Wave and we can talk about a variety of options to keep in mind.

Another thing I would like to explain is the system so confusing Wave invitations from Google, because the network is on fire by the tens of thousands of people who go looking for them. It's simple: the only social network invitations to this Google sends them. A Wave user can not send invitations to other users to connect instantly. The system is a bit more complicated, because the alleged 20 "invitations" that gives us that we are in something of feedbacks that proper invitations, so invite users but we do not suggest that. I mean, Google should have an almost endless list of people who have subscribed to the beta, so all they do the invitations of users is to suggest that we enter into certain users to enter. In this way, and as if it were a positive feedback, our suggested escalate positions in the waiting list and receive your invitation a little earlier than expected. So if you sign up https: / / wave.google.com / to receive your invitation you can take from three days to one or two months to receive your invitation, depending on how many people you have suggested.

So summing up a bit and you could say that this first draft of what will surely become one of the most popular social networking sites is very limited but very promising. As from now this blog is in I will be reporting on the changes that are being made.

PS: After the Crystal would like to thank Ernie, Ceci, José GDF, Lucia and Mr. Rockmantico the fact that they are the 5 best commentators on this blog by sending them as soon as I confirm that they are subscribed to the beta, one of the popular "invitations" or feedbacks so that they too can prove this social network. Thank you very much for your support five of the blog and hopefully soon we meet there.

It's here the new era of communications, a new step forward in the social networks that this time is given by one of the giants of the industry: Google. The equation that we offer is as follows: Gmail + Messenger + Facebook + Twitter + wiki + Google = Google Docs Wave.

Yes friends, the men of Google are willing to intervene decisively in the war between Facebook and Twitter for months. The question I have is: Are we ready for something that gives us all or, conversely, we will begin to smoke out his ears at such a possibility?

I am facebookers for months, does not convince me at all but after investigating the site and read about the possibility of competition I think, by far the most complete. Yes, perhaps it is because little by little he is facing down the giant Microsoft but the fact is that Google I have a special affection, and I think I'll give you an opportunity to Wave when you leave. I want to forget about msn (I have a desire to uninstall it for years ...) and I feel like something more complete than Facebook. We will have to see what happens with this project and if it comes to fruition because people are by nature fixed-gear, and it will be difficult to convince tuenti, the twitters and facebookers that change ...

If you want to know everything, everything and everything about this podructo here I leave the video presentation of Google Wave.
