Last week I got my Google Wave invite and darn near deleted it….intentionally. I obviously didn’t realize how in demand those invites were….ooops. I read that people were paying as much as $70 on eBay for an invite. Insane. Needless to say, I activated the invite and am currently testing it. The WOW factor wore off in about ummm a few hours. It is neat to read what is on the horizon and some of the bots that will be available for it. But with limited functionality and only a couple of people to test it with, I don’t see all the hoopla just yet.

Also, one of my Triad partners (sophisticated version of a mastermind group)….Greg Balanko Dickson ‘The Small Business Sherpa’, hosts an online show called ‘Social Capital Daily’.  Last week on one of his episodes he talked about the initial experiences we had using Google Wave. I really like the “whole brain” speaking and presentation format that he uses for his short daily 15 min broadcasts. They are an integrated Live Interactive Broacasting and Web Conferencing System. It is called the “Attain Response Marketing System” and I think that it is fairly new. (The guy who introduced it to us is @poweralex on Twitter).  At the same time Greg is speaking, he is flipping the pages of his powerpoint presentation which is shown to the right of him. The program also includes a really nice tool for sending video email. Anyway, check out the system set up, along with what he has to say about Google Wave on his episode entitled ‘Everyone Online is Your Neighbor’. And be sure to “Wave” to me via “teenbizcoach” on gmail if you are currently testing the system and teach me how to do something really cool, that I don’t already know how to do If you want to get on the waiting list for Google Wave  >> wave.google.com @teenbizcoach
