Wave to the Moon (Google Wave Discussion)

by Eric Greenspan on November 29, 2009

google_wave_logoJoin us for an online discussion about Google Wave, using Google Wave on Weds, Dec 2nd, 8pm PST. I just attended one tonight and it was amazing, so I thought I’d do one for my tweeps. You can register for the event here.

We will discuss, share and demonstrate:

1. What is Google Wave?
2. How will we use it in business and in our personal lives?
3. What are gadgets and robots?
4. Will Google Wave change how we communicate?
5. Will Google Wave replace email?

Twitter? Facebook? Linkedin? Where does it all end? How many are enough? Which one is here to stay and gone tomorrow? The answer to these questions lies within the questions themselves. YES! NEVER. MAYBE. WHO KNOWS? I myself seem to be drowning in the same frenzy that everyone with a smart phone or computer is [...]

How to Achieve Mind Blowing Customer Service

November 18, 2009

“Employees First, Customers Next” is my philosophy and how we roll at Make It Work. Let me elaborate…
