**************

Welcome to our inaugural ‘techy-er’ podcast! This week’s first / second-show-per-week episode focuses on Google Wave and Online Collaboration.

We also have a contest to win a Google Wave invitation! Be sure to listen to the show to learn how to enter!!

1. Google Wave (and my beef w/ it: don’t like that we can be added to any wave. we should have an option to preview wave, then accept or decline)

2. Google Wave competitors:
– Sharewave (http://bit.ly/2SCpDF), (http://bit.ly/4Awpfb)
– Micrososft Sharepoint (http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/Pages/Default.aspx)
– Future potential of Twitter/Facebook (adding whiteboards and such)
– Yahoo Messenger whiteboard

3. In-depth discussion on the new Mac goodness: No more firewire 400, iMac is now HD, Mac Mini (Server) with no optical drive, BT Keyboard now w/ 2 AA batteries (vs 3), Magic Mouse

iMac, Mac Mini, Mouse, Airport Extreme
