Breaking the wave…

According to the official Google blog, 100,000 invitations to Google’s most hotly-anticipated new service, Google Wave, went out yesterday. Wave is being touted as a communication tool that reimagines the way email should work.

So, who’s getting invited to use this next-generation communication tool? Well, it helps if you signed up early for an invitation and wrote the Wave team a message offering to give feedback. If you’re a developer who’s been using the developer preview of Wave, you might also get an invitation, and some are going out to paying customers of Google Apps.

Meanwhile, and as turbotodd explained in his blog, IBM Lotus has been gaining ground on the collaboration front through the delivery and adoption of real products our customers can use today

I love the waves … but from the sea, don’t you ?! #lotusknows

Create an electronic footprint. Social Media and you (See you in Raleigh, NC!)

Tomorrow morning, I shall be leaving London to fly to Raleigh, North Carolina to present at the Super Women’s Group annual event : Create an electronic footprint.  I am exited to be part of this event and to encourage more women at IBM to use Social Media.  We have created specifically for this event and beyond a “Super Social Women” merit badge. So any IBM women who are keen to enter into the social media universe on behalf of IBM can wear this badge with pride on their blue pages profile.

Following this event, I shall be flying to NYC for our IBM 2009 Social Media Marketing summit. I already blog about so I won’t go into too much
