Europeans are growing their use of Social Media--says Forrester

"While uptake of social media activities overall has increased slightly in the past year, online European usage of social networks such as Facebook and Bebo has grown significantly — around 30% now engage with social networks regularly, up from 18% last year. Overall, more than 60% of online Europeans now engage with social media on a regular basis, and in some countries, such as the Netherlands, this is as high as 74%. However, penetration of social activities remains very different across the different countries in Europe." (Forrester)

Google Wave Will Rock!

The Future of the Internet-Again! Google really gets it. They present their new Google Wave BEFORE it is ready so that it will be a truly open service. They created it based on a question: What would email look like if it was created today? Google Wave is the answer to this questions.
They reminded us that it was created 40 years ago before the internet...Can u imagine a world without internet?!
They have created a hosted conversation including IM which a live transmission of typing-they claim that 50% of your time in IM is wasted waiting to see what someone is typing. Their new version allows to to spend 100% of your time reading and writing since you can see what someone is typing and respond at the same time. This youtube presentation was Google presenting to developers and included applause from the audience for certain features-and some bugs....
