No, not Google Buzz — Wave, that other social information pump that Google launched last year. It's hard to blame you if you don't. While Google's goals are ambitious with Wave, many users couldn't figure out what to do with it, or why they needed it in their lives. Perhaps more importantly, it was basically impossible to know if someone was talking to you in Wave unless you had it open all the time. Not anymore.Wave is finally turning on email notifications to alert you about new and updated waves. From the Inbox menu, simply select the new "Notifications" option to set how often (if at all) you'd like to receive them. The Wave team recommends that if you're not a heavy user of Wave, you should get notified "immediately" upon a change. For more active users, the team seems to have a smart approach:]]> http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/google-wave-may-finally-tread-water-with-email-notifications/feed/ 0 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/sergey-brin-used-google-buzz-to-write-his-nyt-op-ed-on-google-books/ http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/sergey-brin-used-google-buzz-to-write-his-nyt-op-ed-on-google-books/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:54:45 +0000 admin http://techcrunch.com/?p=157435 During the Q&A session today following the Google Buzz event, Google co-founder Sergey Brin revealed something both humorous and interesting. When asked a question about practical uses for Google Buzz, Brin noted that he actually used the service to help him write his op-ed about Google Books that ran in the New York Times last year.Brin noted that he was having difficulty with the article because it's just his one point of view. So he put out his draft on Google Buzz (which Google was testing out internally within the company at the time), and quickly got dozens of comments. Brin then used this feedback to edit his article.]]> http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/sergey-brin-used-google-buzz-to-write-his-nyt-op-ed-on-google-books/feed/ 0 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/twitter-tips-articles/if-google-wave-is-the-future-google-buzz-is-the-present/ http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/twitter-tips-articles/if-google-wave-is-the-future-google-buzz-is-the-present/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:40:31 +0000 admin http://techcrunch.com/?p=142554 See our live notes from today's Google Buzz event here.Google has a problem. Despite having their hands in just about everything online, they've never been able to tackle what is a key part of the fabric of the web: social. Yes, they have Orkut and OpenSocial, but no one actually uses them. Okay, some people use them, but not in the meaningful social ways that people use Facebook or even Twitter. Today, Google may have just solved their social problem.Google Buzz is easily the company's boldest attempt yet to build a social network. Imagine taking elements of Twitter, Yammer, Foursquare, Yelp, and other social services, and shoving them together into one package. Now imagine covering that package in a layer that looks a lot like FriendFeed. Now imagine shoving that package inside of Gmail. That's Buzz. If Google Wave is the future, Google Buzz is the present.]]> http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/twitter-tips-articles/if-google-wave-is-the-future-google-buzz-is-the-present/feed/ 0 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/google-wave-googles-new-platform-for-communication/ http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/google-wave-googles-new-platform-for-communication/#comments Thu, 21 Jan 2010 04:15:18 +0000 Tuhin Misri http://hitmyplatform.net/?p=30384 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/google-wave-googles-new-platform-for-communication/feed/ 0 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/twitter-tips-articles/how-to-connect-google-wave-and-twitter/ http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/twitter-tips-articles/how-to-connect-google-wave-and-twitter/#comments Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:07:51 +0000 admin http://hitmyplatform.net/?p=1248 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/twitter-tips-articles/how-to-connect-google-wave-and-twitter/feed/ 0 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/top-google-wave-highlights/ http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/top-google-wave-highlights/#comments Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:47:42 +0000 admin http://hitmyplatform.net/?p=1244 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/top-google-wave-highlights/feed/ 0 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/info-about-google-wave/ http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/info-about-google-wave/#comments Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:39:30 +0000 admin http://hitmyplatform.net/?p=1239 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/info-about-google-wave/feed/ 0 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/get-google-wave-invitation-for-free/ http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/get-google-wave-invitation-for-free/#comments Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:24:05 +0000 admin http://hitmyplatform.net/?p=1234 http://hitmyplatform.net/articles/google-wave/get-google-wave-invitation-for-free/feed/ 2
