How About an iPhone/iTouch Front-End App for Google Wave? It's Here!
Yes, we already posted about a new iPhone/iTouch app today (NASA Images) but like they say, one iPhone App deserves another, especially on the weekend.
Here's an iPhone/iTouch app that some people have been asking for.
The price? 99 cents. So, if you don't like the app and/or don't see a need for it (or Google Wave in general), you're not out a great deal of $$$.
According to the iPhone/iTouch home page for Waveboard is allows you to:
+ Shake your phone with the app running will provide access to reload or logout features.
+ Have website links shown in an integrated browser
+ Allows pages can be "handed off" to Safari
+ Have the option to use landscape view
Perhaps the most interesting and useful feature in this release is push notifications. This page and the embedded video shows that it's a fast and simple operation to get everything running.
Here's an overview:
From the outset, Google Wave "push" is only available if you use the Mac version of Waveboard (free)
You'll need
1) An app named Prowl which can do a bunch of things beyond Waveboard installed on both your iPhone.The Prowl home page shows many positive comments from well-known iPhone app reviewers. It costs $2.99 and even if you give up on Waveboard, as we said a moment ago, Prowl has several other uses.
So, if you just want to test Google Wave on iPhone/iTouch you can spend $.99 and be up and running in no time. Of course, you'll also need one a Google Wave login.
If you want to enable Google Wave push notifications (only available at this time for Mac), it's another $2.99 and a few more minutes of your time. It's really not difficult.

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.
A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
