So the new site is finally up and running. It’s already been optimized for IE and Firefox, but the menu is still causing problems on certain browser versions.

Please fill in the poll, it only takes two clicks and will help me loads! Feel free to comment too if you have time! I can add you to the Blogroll in return if you wish?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Thanks guys, and a merry Christmas.

So I got my invite yesterday and started having a brief play with the much-anticipated Google wave!

There isn’t that much to rave about as of yet, simply a basic GUI which has a similar layout to Gmail and that’s about it. You log into your Google account and you’re away. I posted a message to Alex Sleat and got a response later on. Seems you can incorporate polls, which is a nice feature, and Google maps.

It needs some work, to make it more google-esk, but it’s a nice concept and the incorporation of all the Google goodies will make it a strong contender for facebook chat and the days of MSN!

What’s especially nice about it is that it is entirely browser based, so it can be accessed from anywhere unlike MSN, which requires a download. It would be nice for conference calls and I think it will thrive in an office environment – I’m just not sure that the day-to-day user needs all the functionality that will (hopefully) be implemented. Either way, I’m looking forward to a Google Wave update to bring it out of its beta stage. Remember the days of Google Beta?!
