Surf the Wave, Not the Web, Brah!
Well, a lot less fanfare than I would have liked... Ah, well.I got an invite to Google Wave last night! A victory from a two-week struggle of contacting individuals who had invites to try and snag one for myself. Great thanks to @sidoyle for actually floating me one.
So... I can't really give you a great review so far, because I don't know anyone else with Wave. Meaning I can only search public Waves... LAME. So, until I get the invites (and supply my wonderful POW readers with some), I'll leave you with these two vids explaining what Wave is.
The first is a short, basic video explaining the very basic idea of Google Wave.
The second is crazy long (almost an hour and a half), and explains almost every use and feature of Wave. If you're a tech dude or gal, this vid is WAY worth it.
Transmit the Bit!
As you can see, there's a new addition to the right bar called "The Vid-Stat." It's through a service called robo.to that syncs with Twitter to produce visually-based tweets. I thought it was a pretty fresh idea, so I'm trying it out! I'm giving it a few days, and we'll figure out whether it works or not.If you're on Twitter, you should definitely try it out and drop me a tweet! There's a version of friending through the site that I'd like to try out as well. It can also connect to Facebook, and will drop the video right in your friends' News Feed!
Check it! robo.to
Mashable! (Nothing to do w/ Potatoes.)
If you're reading this, you're probably aware that I am on the computer A LOT of the time. You may even know that (for someone who lives where I do) I am ahead of most people, in terms of online knowledge and use (knowing what Twitter is/how to use it, etc.) So, it would be no surprise to know that I also like to know what's going on in the social media.Enter Mashable.
Mashable is like the CNN of social networking news. They produce articles on what's going on with services such as Facebook and Myspace, and also create How To articles, to educate the masses on using a general or precise function of these same services.
Mashable has a pretty large online presence, with over 824k followers on Twitter alone. This means that at any given time, one or more Mashable stories are in the Top 10 Trending Topics on Twitter. If you're a Twitter beginner, that's sort of a big deal.
I really just wanted to promote these guys. For anyone interested in learning how to use any given social networking site, check Mashable. If you want to learn more about Google, or their new rival Bing, check Mashable. In a nutshell, Mashable rules. Check it.
Join The Klub!
I started a new Family Force 5 fan site, one that won't be exclusively about FF5. It's gonna be pretty neat, so you should probably check it out. RIGHT NOW!!!

Tweet it up!
So, I'm currently browsing Twitter and it's many users. I'm realizing it's probably my favorite thing on the web. It's so simple, easy to use, and addictive! Really.Twitter, for those of you that may not know, is an online application based on the very popular "Status Update" function of social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. Twitter asks a very simple question: What are you doing? Because this changes all of the time, your friends are able to see exactly what you are up to whenever they like!
Also, there are many bands/celebs/whatever on Twitter! I'm following FF5, and every member in the band, as well as the tour they are on. It's action, you know?
I'm getting frustrated, though, because nobody in this hick county has one. Sure, Tofu and some other people have one, but not nearly enough. So, if you're reading this, get an account, tell me, and I'll be happy to follow your tweets! Please.
So, yeah! Here's a nifty link to my profile.
Clicky for me Twitter account!
And don't forget about my flashy email account which no ones used yet! It's getting lonely in its little corner of the IntraWebs.
