Google Wave: Potential Problems and Benefits

Google has announced yesterday what could welcome become a new email, a program, API and most importantly: a new protocol - Google Wave.One of the things I like about it, is its seamless merging of email and IM into one convenient easy to use interface, with threads, multiple participants, private messages and image attachments. All this operated from any browser that supports HTML 5. Firefox, Chrome and Safari were shown (now love for IE?).

Many emails and many identities - nobody believes you

The situation like this one is a sign of our super-technological times. Long time ago I created a hotmail account. After a while I found better ways to email, so I decided to keep hotmail just in case. It's useful to have an email to give out while shopping or registering online and let all spammers use it as they wish.

Less than perfect web services

 Here is my dilemma: I would like to have all my information accessible from any computer and from a single place on the web. Google with it's calendar seems like a perfect match, right? Maybe, but while being completely satisfied with its gmail I find it's calendar, docs and spreadsheet to be way underdeveloped. The main thing that is missing in their calendar is "snooze" button. Some of my events are something in between the "to-do" and "specific time" events, let's just say I like it to nag for a while, before I actually do it :-).
