Google Broadening Wave Access With GMail-Like Rollout
As we previously reported, starting tomorrow Google will widen access to its innovative communications platform Wave, offering 100,000 new invitations to use the service.

At the end of next month, September 30, Google will expand the current “developer preview” of Google Wave to roughly 100,000 consumer users.

Developer Impressions Of Google Wave: “Real-Time Email On Crack”
What is it? Google’s answer to Twitter? Email and IM replacement? Personal communications and collaboration platform? These were questions and characterizations that emerged as Google announced Wave at the company’s May developer event in San Francisco.

Google’s New Wave Of Ambition
I’m in the Google Wave press conference, following a dizzying keynote — dizzying, at least, after a night of little sleep.

The Google Lat Long Blog announced that My Maps now can be built by groups of people, not just individuals. Maps can be edited by only selected friends and family or by Google Maps users at large. The benefits of this are fairly straightforward: group travel planning, collective favorites, better overall data (wisdom of crowds), […]
SMX Social Media Conference Preview: Categorizing Social Media Sites
Search Engine Land’s first Search Marketing Expo show focused on social media marketing, SMX Social Media, comes to New York on Oct. 16 & 17. I’m super-excited about the show, especially having the chance to stretch out with many sessions exploring how social media is, as I wrote earlier this year, an important "kissing cousin" […]
Yoople For Collaborative Searching
Yoople is a collaborative search engine that I discovered over the weekend. Very simple idea – run your search and Yoople grabs results from Yahoo and displays the first 10 for you on the screen. You can then click and drag a result and place it in a different position in the top 10 if […]
