Google Wave Tid Bits #1 Video

After Editing my Google Wave Agenda Template Tutorial due to the length of the video I was required to take out the little Tid bits or Wave Tips from the original tutorial. I have now been able to edit these Tid Bits into one video for easy viewing.

This short video goes briefly into the importance of managing your inbox folders, using the public search, and inserting an HTML gadget.

As always thanks for your time and please feel free to let me know if you would like a video tutorial to fit your circumstances or if you just have questions don’t hesitate to ask. And for those of you in Indiana feel free to drop by the SmallerIndiana Google Technology Users Group

Playing with Prezi!

So this is just awesome!! Low and behold i had to do another Power Point presentation for school next week. Boo000…. However, I found Prezi. Now this web application is just too cool. To give you a quick little run down, because you won’t understand the story otherwise, there is a story that goes through the images “The Parable of the Sadhu” then there are some discussion slides. Now just a word of caution, buckle up before you start this ride!! Please excuse the framing of the player or visit http://prezi.com/gswubvxindwa/ to see it in its true size.

Lotusdog’s Google Wave Meeting Agenda Template Tutorial

Sorry for publishing this to the wrong blog at first!

So I have completed my first Google Wave tutorial, based off of my Meeting Agenda Template that can be found on Google Wave. I will also be uploading today a “Tid Bits” video that will show a couple helpful tips that you want to keep in mind when using Google Wave, like folder organization, the public search feature and the HTML gadget.

You can find all my videos on my YouTube Channel or by visiting my “How I Use Google Wave” wave.

Google Wave and www.SmallerIndiana.com

As opportunities come and go and ideas rise and fall with the waves of internet trends in new technology, what can be more exciting to a communication and team working freak like myself than the latest Google Developments. In an ever grasping quest to more efficiently work on multiple machines and on multiple projects, I have been delving steadily into the world of Google to see what they have to offer. Not only have the reliability and efficiency of Chrome, Google Docs, and Gmail improved and become easier to use than ever but, now we have been hit by the Google Wave.

Now I am the type of person that occasionally pokes my nose into Google Labs and have found many exciting Apps like Fusion Tables and the Google Social experiment but, it wasn’t until I started trying to figure out how to use Google Wave for practical purposes that I really started seeing the big picture of where Wave could go (Go! is also an interesting topic that is a little over my head but, that at first glance supports the developments and trends that I see).

So what have I been doing with Wave and what does that have to do about www.SmallerIndiana.com ? First a little background. One day I was looking for Indiana knowledge bases on Google. Couldn’t find any, no Indiana Google developer groups, no online Google groups located in Indiana, and just plain no Google enthusiast organization in Indiana. So I just had to change that. I started GoogleWavers group on www.smallerindiana.com I have done this within the SmallerIndiana social network and we have our own Wave to accompany the activities that this group does.

Now what do we do, well not a whole lot yet but, for the 2 months that we have been plugged in we have grown, people have contributed, and people are coming together to build a Google enthusiast/developer Wave community online and in the real world base within Indiana.

So if your in or near Indiana and a Google enthusiast, developer, or just plain wanting to learn more feel free to stop by our GoogleWavers Group and request an invite to our wave and join our monthly meetings. If you don’t have a Wave ID and would like one feel free to request one from Google or you can request one from me personally.

We look forward to meeting you and hearing what ideas and real world needs you have that could perhaps be solved through learning more about Google Apps.
