What went unnoticed in Google Wave?

The basic of Google wave – it is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. It is not just an IM , nor just an email and neither just an online word application. It is an integrated mixture of all and a step ahead.

Consider email :

We know it doesn’t support IM. What else? Any conversation and its replies create a big mail chain, difficult to track. The chain sometimes even brake into branches. If just a single email can keep track of all replies, it makes easy to manage. Google Wave creates a single wave which can be replied within or edited or whatever, no longer need to search for a mail in clumsy inbox.

Consider IM :

People communicating in IM need to be online. The conversation can be saved, but it has many limitations. It doesn’t allow for any further communication once a session is closed. Attachment cannot be saved within the saved conversation itself.  Google here adds a cool feature of private reply. Instead of Opening a new session one can send a reply to only limited people in the same communicating wave.

Consider Word and other documents:

You cannot share, collaborate a document unless it is an  online app for collaborative purpose. Besides, one cannot communicate with other.

Consider Share point or OneNote:

SharePoint is not much interactive, the way we want to freely manage the documents or conversation. And OneNote doesn’t allow the documents to be shared.

Besides, non of them provide the feature of adding a gadgets or installation, which makes it more interesting to work. As it is open source, one can create one’s own gadgets or updated features to be integrated.

Other cool features:

• One can Follow or Unfollow a wave depending on his likings or importance.
• Google allows to simply drag drop pictures, videos and documents to be shared into wave. It also provide menu to display a nice slide show for the pictures in wave.
• We can link one wave to another and hence easily keep together the similar waves.

What more?

It supports real time communication, which may be liked or not depending on individual.

Similarly another popularity of feature to edit any sent response from anyone,  depends on individual likings. But is also allow to playback a wave to see what was updated/edited and when.

And as Wave is not fully rolled out, there are many good updates expected to be coming:

One may able to give permission to edit or not to edit his response. It may allow to post comments on blog.

Public wave address will be created so that anyone can create, access and contribute to a public wave.

Robots are also likely to be added to act like artificial human and take automated responses like deleting a response, replying etc.

Its uses may vary widely. Any single topic for establishing a session can result in wave.

Like..

Mostly for business purposes for email conversation, project discussion, meetings etc.

One can create a single wave for adding and/or sharing all the photos.

One can create public wave :

• to broadcast any information with all
• To advertise

Wave may seem to be currently limited but it may slowly transition the way of our  communication.

Why it is not appealing me ?

Google wave is currently  in  preview stage and not fully released. It is not fully developed  and lack many features and there are some bugs even.

As the case may be with most of us, we don’t have many friends added in the account. That limits our use. Besides, it prevents much hands on experience.

Its looks are very similar to that of an outlook or a Gmail application, that doesn’t sound  exciting. It gives you a feel like doing a routine task of checking mails. And that is true.  Google wave is designed to give more advantages for business tasks.

When you actually to get to work, you find it very similar to an IM conversation or like an email chain. Nothing seems to be much new here.

Slow response.

Some features, like real time messaging and editing any response, add more on to Cons rather than Pros.

What went unoticed in first glance with Google Wave

When to buy a laptop? – when the essence is portability

The laptop has the only one and great advantage over desktop, that is, its portability. You should buy a laptop when there is need for

• carrying computer at home and office
• having immediate access of your applications anywhere
• moving computer frequently

Less weight and size? – have disadvantages also

Laptops of course have advantages of their small size and less wight as compare to desktop. It can be kept anywhere and can be easily handled. But in fact, it inherently have other disadvantages:

• To make laptop of small size and less weight, special components are used, which are more expensive. Hence more costlier.
• Again, it makes costlier and as well as difficult to upgrade or expand.
• It is more prone to theft.
• Small size is not always good, when keys are very near and keyboard is also attached with the screen. That make less comfortable to work.

Battery backup is also a positive part, but if it is really required.

Why to buy a desktop?

• It is much cheaper as compare to laptop of same features.
• Great features at low cost make desktop more powerful in performance.
• It is easy to upgrade or replace or expand, and also cheaper.
• Desktops are more comfortable to work with as desktop screen is at eye level and keyboard can be placed away from screen at a distance comfortable.

What is a Netbook?

• It is a kind of mini laptop. It is portable. It is of small size and less weight as compared to a laptop.
• It can run only limited applications and hence its purpose is limited for general computing  and to access web based applications.
• Its computing power is low.
• Many features like optical drive is not there.
• It is less expensive as compared to a laptop or a desktop.

And when to buy Netbook?

Because it is portable and least expensive among all the three, it can be purchased when there is no high computing work needs to be done, when one just need a computer for basic applications like to sending email, working on office applications, listening music and watching videos (using pen drive, as optical drive is not there).

Conclusion:

IT would be a wiser choise to buy a desktop rather than a laptop when there is no need of portability.

If you have any question, you can comment to ask.

My best wishes! to all those who have received their Windows7 House Party, Ejoyyy!. This is really a next generation operating system, I have Windows7 RC on my system and I am loving it.

I hope, I will receive mine soon

I named my party as Windows7Blast and I was really  excited about launch party . I have invited all my friends and colleagues for it. I planned my party on October 22,2008 2009, but all my feeling vanished for Windows7. As I haven’t received my party package and it  is a week away but still there is no information about my party package. I have not received any tracking code and If they will ship it now then I don’t think I will get it by October 22,2008 2009.   So all my guest please come with eggs and rotten tomatoes.

I have sent so many emails to House Party customer care but till now no response. It not only happened with me, there are lots of other people are complaining the same on House Party Conversations. Some are telling that they have received their party pack but I think there is something suspicious or it may be a big scam.

I really loved Windows7 but Microsoft don’t love and respect their users and customers.

I am not removing this post as per our guidelines but I apologize for it

Timed SMS is a new next generation value added SMS service with Tata Docomo. It can be seen as a reminder or scheduler service but with more sophisticated technology. By this service you can schedule your SMS in advance, like birthday/anniversary  wishes and the same will be sent at specified Date and Time.

If you are a Tata Docomo subscriber then to use this service you have to follow some simple step :

Type TSMS  <Recipient Mobile Number> <Time in HHMM> <Date in DDMM> <Message> and send it to short-code 53030

For example : Type TSMS 9xxxxxxxxx 0001  1210 Happy Birthday and send it as an sms to 53030.

Then your SMS will be sent to Recipient’s Mobile Number at exactly 12:01 AM on 12th October. But the cons is that you are not allowed to plan it in a year advance as the Year is missing in Date.

There is a applicable charge of  Rs. 3 / SMS
