Google Wave is an online software application product from Google, which Google described as "a new web application for real-time communication and collaboration." It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by a rich set of extensions. Initially, it was released only to developers, most recently (May 2010), Google Wave was released to the general public. So what this mean to you? And how does Google Wave compare with Email as we know it today? And will it change the future of communication and collaboration? 

In this session, Jay Cuthrell, strategic technology consultant with Cuthrell Consulting, LLC and frequent industry speaker based in Research Triangle Park, NC and Missoula, MT, will be provide his insights and demonstrate Google Wave applications in the workplace comparing and contrasting them to traditional e-mail.

Back in July, we had a session with Jenny about Gen Y. If you missed that session, the full recording is on Facebook. Jenny provided some great insights into Gen Y's work habits and priorities and their view on productivity and technology. A few weeks ago, we continued the theme of Generations in the Workplace, and Adam Christensen, CTO of HR Systems at Wells Fargo, represented Gen X and gave us his insights about Gen X. The recording of that session is also on Facebook.

The Gen Y Teaches Us Twitter session has two purposes:

• One is to demystify Twitter so if you haven't yet ventured into this platform and want to do so, or if you're just curious about it, you can get quickly and easily up-to-date, learn the basic techniques, and see how people are using it, and what the benefits might be.
• The second purpose though, which is just as important, is to continue the theme of "Generations in the Worplace" and get more insights about how Gen Y uses technology, and the role that Gen Y can play in the workplace, helping others/coaching others in becoming more familiar and comfortable with the latest trends in technology.
