Google Solution Wanted

Posted by Bloggylife in technology on January 10, 2010

Sometimes I search for solution based on needs I am having. I am Googlized :P aren’t we all. I have my gmails, my google search results bookmarked, my google documents, google waves, even tweets. Sometimes I want to centralize them all together, is there a product out there that does that for me. Why am I having something called, Google Projects in mind, is it out there or am I imagining it.

I want to be able to create a project within a portal for example, and link everything I have control over in one location. I’d set a project page and name it, link all related emails, documents, tweets, bookmarked search results, youtube videos, etc. Has anyone got the solution or an idea? I just don’t want to alt+tab or ctrl+tab no. all the time.

btw, is twitter still a standalone, has anyone bought it, Google, Microsoft, since everything is bought by either Google or Microsoft nowadays, I remember the last one was Google with youtube and Yahoo with who again ??

Publish Bug Update (link):

Firefox browser has no problem, just Chrome. Preview then Publish clicked from the same window can be done with Firefox but not Chrome!

Google Wave

Posted by Bloggylife in technology on November 19, 2009

I’m still trying to figure out Google wave and haven’t read too much about it and mainly used it so far in a manner of normal chat and emails.

I’m just going to point out the things I ponder from my scratching the surface of Google Wave.

  1. I still don’t get the live wire update, as soon as I lock down a character in one end the other end sees it, is it feasible performance wise and also in the real world I don’t think it is practical practice, one always read proofs before submitting.
  2. In an email, you have the “To”, “Cc” and “Bcc” field, currently in Google wave there is only one field which is basically the “To” in an email. I’m sure that’ll be put in somehow.
  3. I think wave clients will come out just like email/twitter/chat clients. Someone somewhere will give it a try. Though it’s a bit tricky, because do you want to be notified of all new waves and/or updates of waves. I think that can be managed through settings somehow.
  4. In the navigation box, there’s Inbox, All, By Me, what’s the difference? Also, if you hover over them there are options, move up/down, which basically moves the option up and down and then there is set colour, which just sets the background of that option to your selected colour. I thought it would tag the waves within that particular category with the selected colour but it didn’t! Strange option, didn’t see the use of it.
  5. Could someone please tell me, how to delete a wave indefinitely! It just sits there in the trash.

    I still need to figure out and be comfortable with waving :P Also, having your own wave server!
