Project: One Book a Month (1BaM)

I recently decided to start a personal project for 2010: buying one book every month this year. I simply like books not only because I'm an avid and tremendously fast reader of novels. It simply feels cozy to actually own them and have a nice bookshelf in your room. Also, my family has a long tradition in selling books and owns a small bookstore in Bremervörde which I really like.

Webmontag Hannover

Gestern war ich das erste mal beim Webmontag in Hannover. Ich hatte schon so eine Vorahnung, dass man bei so einer Veranstaltung auch einiges an Selbstdarstellung erleben würde. Einige Referenten und Teilnehmer haben diese Vorahnung leider auch bestätigt.

Google Wave - the new way of collaborative communication

Google Wave LogoYesterday Google announced a new, mind blowing product called Google Wave. You can watch a video of the 80 minutes developer preview at the Google I/O conference. In this blog post I'll try to summarize some of the features that I found most significant and interesting, including some highlighted snapshots from the presentation mentioned above. 

What is Google Wave?

Google Wave is a collaborative communication plattform that is - as far as I think - about to set a milestone in redefining the way we think about email, instant messaging, collaborative work and online communication in general. A wave can be understood in terms of a simple type of content, like a page, an email, a gallery or a discussion.

By adding other people to a wave you can invite them to take part in your wave, for example by using the inline discussion functionality that is similar to what we used to know as instant messaging. The only difference: this conversations can now be located inside a document, exactly next to the part you'd like to discuss.
