As a blogger I can say that ninety-nine per cent of the work you can see on my website is done by myself ( the creation of the topics for example , which requires of course a lot of efforts ) but I have to admit that there are also few things without whom I wouldn’t have even dreamt about starting in this wonderful world called the world of blogging .
One of these things and maybe the most important one , is Wordpress, which is a complete software that helps you start your own blog , by allowing you to edit your text , add pictures , change the theme of your blog , and add cool application that can help you a lot .
Let’s face it this wonderful tool , is making our life because imagine if I had to reinvent each application I’m currently using on my blog , I would have simply been discouraged and I’m sure that I’m not the only one who would have been .
The number of bloggers using Wordpress is unceasingly increasing , building a huge community of bloggers from all around the world , each one of them giving or helping in the development of a solution , and from a more personal point of view ,Wordpress is the exact incarnation of successful open source applications .
Ladies and gentlemen maybe at the time I’m writing this article , you don’t know what the word WAVE means, but believe me , there will come a day when you will (for sure )know this word and use this very powerful tool developed by Google .
Dear readers let me please introduce to you Google inc’s newborns baby , Google wave was developed by Lars and Yen Rasmussen two gigs that have also been known for developing Google maps , supported by a team of unique engineers very Carefully selected . Google wave is an HTML 5-based application for communication and cooperation that will make you discover internet and in a completely new form and a surprisingly new way .
So before talking about some of Google wave’s features , you have to know that Google wave is an open source project , which means that everyone can contribute to its advancement. which is a very interesting aspect of this very ambitious project, indeed Google is fully aware that it can develop a very powerful tool if instead of (limiting the number of its developers) let all the world contribute to this project and develop it according to everyone’s needs .
So what’s new in Google wave , I’m so sorry but I just couldn’t count the number of new and innovative things that are about to be launched in Google wave , but first I would like to give you a brief idea of what is Google wave . Google wave is new concept that has started based on a simple question: the normal mail has been invented about 40 years from now , but hasn’t really changed and its functions even if they were unceasingly developed remain basic , so how would a mail be if it had to be invented today ?
the question is a new type of mail “ or I prefer to say a conversation” , where many participant could interact simultaneously if they are online , and be able to read it and participate in it after in case they aren’t , and believe me, even if it’s a bit complicated to give you a realistic image of what it’s like , trust me this concept is going to change everything .
Also one of the things that Google team is introducing through Google wave is its new spell checker technology ( which is now able to correct your mistakes based on the context where the word is used ).
Also instant typing through live transition is a very powerful new concept introduced by Google wave , based on the idea that instead of getting a message like ( x is typing ….) like the ones we get on msn, now we will be able to see the message directly being written .
but maybe the most interesting aspect of this project, is the ability to add new applications that you can develop yourself , giving the opportunity to all the world to take benefit from it .
It means that , each one will have a different Google wave’s account, your Google wave will have options and applications that I maybe won’t have , which adds a touch of customization to this project, a concept directly inspired from the widgets that we add on our browsers with a simple and original difference that this time we will add it on a website (astonishing isn’t it ) : .
finally I would like to say that once again Google team has been able to show to the world that it’s able to invent new things, that it’s able innovate and change whatever we have taken for granted, and this through giving young developers free rein to their talent and the only limit they have is the limit of their imagination .
if you want to know more about Google ’s new project ?
Google team unceasingly surprises the world with new things, that help our life become easier or at least contributes to it ,and as I’ve always been interested in what this team comes up with , I’ve recently tried a new tool called Google Squared
If i had to define Google squared in two words I’d say that it simply organizes your search results in a table.
It’s true that when you search for something on Google or on any other search engine you don’t get a result , but you get a huge amount of disordered information .
So to make the things a bit easier to its users , Google has decided to make some order in its search results by using its new baby called Squared, it is now possible to place the results in a pretty well-organized table.
Google Squared gives you the results sorted by subject or by categories , and strangely looks like the first version of Wolfram Alpha Which gives you results for all the possible meanings of the word you are looking for .
For example if you search for the word letsknowabout , you will for sure get only one result which is my website :p , but in case you search for the word “music” you will get artists, bands , music instruments , and everything related to this word and of course in very well organized so you won’t get lost :p.
Google squared is only in an experimental beta version , and sometimes you can’t find all what you are looking for, but certainly this tool will be more efficient and will gain a lot of popularity soon .
