Once Twitter became available through TweetDeck and other UI's, a lot more people started to use it more regularly. I would like to see the Browser itself become the main computer display UI and then be able to launch things straight off that, without opening a browser. I think that is what Google Chrome are trying to do down the line. Adobe Air seems to be tackling that from the other end of the tunnel, taking net applications out of the browser and into different UI products. Wonder where these two points will meet?

Let's see what Google Wave, Twitter end up doing. Currently Twitter's DM system is all but unusable. spam is definitely a big problem that email finally got on top of, but couldnt totally solve.

If only they have such stamps over here. I think when speed is concerned, tweeting is a better option compared to blogging. It's really convenient to tweet and blogging consumes a lot more time. Furthermore, I prefer quick updates over too lengthy blog post. As for Google Wave, I'm still trying to figure it out. The stamps looks so cute! If only they have such stamps over here.

Seeing it now , was on my non-smartphone and the above image was too big, Nijntje/Miffy is definitly in one of those post stamps :-) I still have Dick Bruna books in my closet from when I was a kid. Damn I feel old now :-( @Whipcracker. You can either install Google chrome or download the google gears extension for IE which it should give you as an option too when you boot wave.google.com on IE. Google Chrome is the fastest browser between Firefox and IE, and uses the least resources as well so it is really quick on a netbook or low-spec laptop. So far I use chrome as my primary browser on my Vaio sub-notebook and Firefox on my main computer. But when They port over the xmarks plugin i`ll be saying goodbye to firefox :) So the choice is yours really, try chrome and see if you like that as a whole; or just insteal Google Gears for IE ! lithiumangel@gmail.com = my addy if anybody wants to wave (Shibuya246 wave ikimasu ?!?! ) @MarijnRongen; Thanks !

Even getting Shibuya246 updates quicker than the RSS feed. The only thing w/Twitter is the 140 character limit, have to learn how to abbreviate to shorten length. I had someone send me a Google wave invite already and it wanted me to download Google chrome to view. I'm running IE, is there any difference btween the 2? In an email you have to be careful what you put in the msg or how it's worded b/c people will twist it around and take the msg as something bad when no offense was sent. So sometimes your caught "Between the Rock and the Hard Place" It'll be for you to decide which form of comunication you want to have. Gomen ne for being so windy.

His style is timeless, there have been quite a few generations brought up with Dick Bruna characters. I think e-mail will be around for a while, Twitter is by no means a substitute for the amount of data you can send using e-mail. Wave perhaps, in a few years time. It's too soon to tell.

In my country well known for his childrens book and unique style. One of his other popular characters is "Nijntje" (Nijn = childish/ short for Konijn or rabbit. "Je" is the property to make something smaller I.E Nijntje = Usagi-chan translated to Japanese ) I think that one could really hit it in Japan if it hasn't already seeing the hello kitty craze that still exists over there :-) On the subject of Twitter; I use it primarily as both an RSS replacement. I.E I follow people who tweet updates to their blogs/sites etc. (Such as yourself) - and with the emergence of flat free 3G / wireless internet, Twitter has also replaced regular SMS TXT messaging for me (Which costs 10 cents a piece as opposed to the free flat-rate internet) so for example after work I might tweet: going to have okonomiyaki at the japanese pancakeworld; and my RL friends can read that and also appear there and vice versa. So those two things is what I use twitter for mainly and it works great. Google wave, I only have it for the last few weeks; I haven't really played around with it yet. WIll make some time for it this weekend but so far it seems promising enough a tool to organize things. If it replaces e-mail ? In this form ? no . It's not that intiuative to use yet and offcourse e-mail you can use to send automated forms, or large documents etc. that you just cant yet with wave. Not to mention; that E-mail clients are *VERY*mature these days with many functions/automated processes etc. etc. that wave just lacks. But give it a few years :-) Ah Dick Bruna,a fellow Dutch man.

There are few problem or plug-ins missing for now but that should work very well. And if they bring the possibility to send regular mail it will sure kill after a while the e-mail we know. What people mainly like from mailing possibility from Twitter, Facebook or others is the spanm-free feeling Wave for me it’s just a better way to use email with the possibility to bring Blog and Twitter.
