Okay, so my title is fairly misleading. Google Wave HAD extensions' just maybe one or two. When Wave came out I was so excited that I totally exhausted the "poll" option. I sent out ridiculous polls to all my friends such as, "Can you make me blueberry muffins? Yes, No or Maybe?"'. to which I would always get a maybe. I guess nobody wanted to make my day. Anyway, I'm getting completely off track here.

Attention all Search Engine Journal lovers and avid readers out there: we have good news! The new SEJ News iPhone application is now available in the app store. The even better news? It's completely free.   The format of this application is very easy on the eyes. The newest content is located on top, followed by the older posts. Simply scroll down as far back as you like to read the articles.

One of the great treasures that comes along with the internet and having the ability to be constantly connected is also the ability to save and share great content. Websites such as Digg and Reddit have provided innovative ways to allow users to dictate what should be the top stories and let's them share with friends and strangers alike.

Yesterday Google released Buzz , an integration of new social features for Gmail that connect users with each other. If you read my article I had mentioned something about finding it a little strange the name "Buzz" was used, seeing as Yahoo! Buzz has existed for quite some time now. Evidently I'm not the only one who has taken notice of this- Microsoft and Yahoo have both taken it into their own hands to speak out on how they feel towards Google at this point in time.

If you can't tell from my recent posts, I think Google is quite revolutionary. With the implementation of Gtalk with video chat capabilities, Google Wave with the ability to have real-time collaboration, Google Docs & Calendar making document and schedule sharing between colleagues or friends and simply the ability to social share in search results, Google truly has made their website somewhat of a single source for all things social.

Ladies and gentlemen- Google Buzz has now been announced! It looks like Google inadvertently answered my " social hub " prayers today with everything that Buzz has to offer. First thing I noticed: does Buzz sound familiar? That's right, Y! Buzz already exists. It seems like Google is going to be direct competition to good old Yahoo. Unfortunately it hasn't went through to everybody yet so I don't have any screen shots or usage notes to give you. I can, however,

Google has )possibly( done it again! Word on the street says that Google engineers are working on a translator for the Android smart phone that will translate one language to another- almost completely in real time. Now, there's a few problems in the past that have appeared when trying to do anything involving voice translation. First off, the pronunciation problem. Everybody has different ways of saying things and often times it doesn't translate correctly.

Google is know for being highly innovative and keeping on top of the technology train. Android brought the opening of the Google online store . Gmail has an on-going experiment that goes by the name of "Gmail Labs", which you can find hiding in it's parent, " Google Labs ". You can try out various things for size,

Super Bowl. It's that special time of year where long lost friends and family members are drawn together to eat wings and pizza, while jumping out of their chairs cheering for each touchdown their team makes and giggling over this year's outrageous commercials. It's also the time for companies to participate in the Super Bowl's competitive advertising environment; pushing the boundaries for the viewers and making a long-lasting )serious or funny( impression.
