Google Wave - Preview

What is all about Google Wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document.

People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared.

Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live.

With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Finally, the best part is… it is not any software u need to install or plug-in you need to download. Its just another link / website where u can do all these things. hmmm my fingers crossed. I’m eagerly waiting for the wave to hit me soooooooon ;)

Twitter Part 1: Getting started ;)

…hm its almost 4 days with twitter here are few things I learned hope this will help you getting started with tweets ;) lemme atleast try :D

‘following’ and ‘followers’

The best way to start with twitter is to explore the options ‘following’ and ‘followers’.

‘followers’ link on the sidebar will tell you how many followers you have. If you wish to follow them you will have a follow button at the same place… so by clicking u will follow them…confused? its simply like allowing or adding an user on FB or Orkut… I’m sure this will be clear once u try it ;)

‘following’ link on the side bar will get u the list of people you’re following. Following someone simply means receiving their Tweets or twitter updates on your homepage. u gotto try these things few times. I’m sure u will get addicted ;)

What are you doing?

Now the most common part What are you doing?. This is very similar to the status message on FB.

But in FB the status message is just a part of it in Twitter everything revolves on what are you doing?. Whatever you write in that box is called ‘tweet’ according to twitter. These messages are posted to your profile and to your followers.

You can delete them, mark them as your favorites, and reply to others tweets. But you cannot edit a tweet once you posted it.

hm yet to figure out what all can or cannot be done….

@userblah blah !!!

hoo almost forgot… u can reply to any user / friend / follower using @twitter user name. aah here is a good feature on twitter u can see all the tweets sent for ya using the link @your twitter user name link which is present on the sidebar.

So u r gonna try this right? :P

..well, thats all in part 1 :D

more n more to come :)

do post your comments, corrections, additions all welcome… and keep tweeting :D

Disclaimer: My sweet people I’m posting this out of experience. It might not be the correct way to use twitter. So so use these tips @ ur own risk.
