on 18/01/2010 | 0 comments

Everyday tons of apps are submitted to AppStore. Everyday tons of links are posted on Twitter, sites, blogs et al. We can’t filter it all, and because of that we end up missing some gems in the process: that’s what happened with me and LiveView Screencaster.

Who doesn’t like good surprises? I’m sure you do, and so do I. Hidden messages and features add a touch of humor and/or cleverness to a work, which captivates the user. These things makes us want to show our findings to friends, thus spreading a website or a work.

And this is what I’m doing today by gathering a roundup of cool hidden features in websites and design-related software.

Working with Google Wave

Wave

Do you remember when blogs gained the spotlight? If you do, then you probably also remember how it suffered from huge amounts of criticism: “it’s just a virtual diary”, “just for teens”, “futile stuff” and things like that. Not that every person on the internet hated it, but there was a strong aversion to the so called blogging. Time passed as we watched blogs gain tremendous importance. It wasn’t different with Twitter.

And it’s not being different with Google Wave – the new target of mass criticism.  Some people who tried the new invention from Google are now saying it’s useless. I would like to make an invite to those people: think about a way of using it! Create your own way to use Wave’s resources and innovation. Twitter didn’t start with hashtags and RTs: it was user’s invention. We can do the same with Google Wave. It’s not only about the tool, it’s about the hand that moves it.

There’s a lot to say about that, but the reason I made this post is Mashable’s article about 5 Impressive Real-Life Google Wave Use Cases. Worth reading – and start thinking how you can work with Google Wave!
