Vokle gives a voice to the masses (sort of)

It looks like Vokle wants to become the video chat forum for the masses. Originally envisioned as a political platform, Vokle makes it so easy to broadcast and receive real-time streaming commentary that it just might make public debate over the Internet a reality. The platform has also been embraced and roundly praised by Arrianna Huffington … but I like it anyway.

It’s one app, and a whole lot of possibilities for instant alerts that’ll keep you informed on-the-go.

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated

In this brilliant piece of unintentional self-parody social media consultant Louis Gray comments that in 5 years there will be no … social media consultants. Psych!

According to Mr. G, they will be as out-dated as webmasters. Wait … I thought we still had webmasters. Well now I’m just confused. BTW, I like Louis Gray’s work. I follow him on Twitter and get his website’s RSS feed, just as I do with respect to a handful of others such as Robert ScobleChris BroganSteve Rubel, and a few others. So yeah, I’m a fan. I just couldn’t resist the irony, though. Posted via web from practice (redux)

Socialwok (allegedly) adds collaboration to Outlook

Socialwok is a free add-on for Google Apps that you can pick up at the Google Apps Marketplace.

I installed it a month ago but have never really been able to connect people in my office using this app. I know it’s working, but it still does not really seem to be adding much interaction. I’ll keep trying and let you know if it truly does the job. In the meantime, here’s a video about using Socialwok with Outlook. Enjoy.

Google TV to be Unveiled Next Month

via feedproxy.google.com
According to The Wall Street Journal, Google will unveil the Android-based television platform at its annual developer event in San Francisco on May 19 and 20. Hardware partners, including Sony, Intel and Logitech, have already announced plans to release products on the Google TV platform. Consumer electronics giant Samsung also recently confirmed that it’s considering the platform as well — an interesting move considering Samsung already has its own app store for Internet-connected TVs. Google has extended significant tendrils into the television space lately, both with the Google TV project and with a television search initiative with Dish Network. In some ways it’s a logical “third screen” move now that the internet company has established itself as a significant player in the mobile space.

Office 2010 officially ships …

… but will it be any better than the beta version  I’ve been using? Maybe. Will I pay to find out? Not sure. So what do I know? I know that  Mashabl!’s lame coverage tells me nothing. Thanks for the Microsoft press release guys. I didn’t know you were a public-relations outlet for Bill Gates. Nice.
