I haven’t quite been writing much lately (surprise, surprise.. ). While I wouldn’t make any promises for the near future either, largely because I am (and have been) in a state of a strange superposition of busy and preoccupied (which are’nt the same thing, by the way), I’m dropping in to say I still exist, I’m alive (mostly), and should be writing a bit more often in a few days.

In the meanwhile, here are the ‘first look’ sort of videos of three web based tools that promise to change the way we do things. Whether either of the three will actually deliver is yet to be seen, but they do have certain potential. Interestingly, I came across them via three channels that, in their respective times, did change the way we communicate and use the internet, although to a slightly lesser degree - IRC, Facebook, and Twitter.

1. Wolfram Alpha

2. Bing

3. Google Wave
