Google Wave

Google Wave is "a personal communication and collaboration tool" announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27,2009
Google Wave 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 extensions that can provide, for example, robust spelling/grammar checking, automated translation between 40 languages, and numerous other extensions, and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
The name was inspired by the Firefly television series in which a Wave is an electronic communication (often consisting of a video call or video message).


Google Wave is designed as the next generation of Internet communication. It is written in Java using OpenJDK.

Initially released only to developers, a "preview release" of Google Wave was extended to nearly 1 million users beginning September 30, 2009, with the initial 100,000 users each allowed to invite up to twenty additional users.

World Champion Jenson Button (GBR)

Brawn GP team principal Ross Brawn has paid tribute to driver Jenson Button after the Englishman secured his first drivers’ title with a fifth-place finish in Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix. The race also saw Brawn wrap up the constructors’ championship at their first attempt.

Button, who won six of the season’s opening seven races, had come in for criticism of late, having only once finished higher than fifth in the subsequent rounds. But all that was swept aside at Interlagos after a spirited drive from 14th on the grid saw him capture the points he needed to clinch the crown.

“What a day! Jenson is a fantastic racer and he had a great race, particularly after such a difficult qualifying,” said Brawn. “He knew what he had to do and did just that and is a very deserving world champion. I am so incredibly proud of the team and our drivers and it's so very special to have won the constructors' and the drivers' championships in our first year as Brawn GP.”

Button’s team mate Rubens Barrichello started his home race from pole position and had looked set to take the title race down to the wire at the last round in Abu Dhabi. However, he was leapfrogged by rivals during the first pit stops and then suffered a late puncture, dropping him to eighth place at the flag.

Bhuvan: India's answer to Google Earth

Imagine if you could count the lions in Gir or fishermen find concentration of fish in the sea, just by dragging a mouse on a computer screen.

After Chandrayaan-1 mission, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is all set to add another feather to its cap.

On the lines of Google Earth, ISRO will soon launch an IRS (Indian Remote Sensing) image portal called “Bhuvan”, which will provide online maps based on Geographical Information System (GIS).

Bhuvan, meaning earth, is the addition to the numerous scientific innovations by SAC and is a satellite mapping tool, just like Google Earth or Wikimapia, but allows you to zoom far closer than the aerial view from a chopper. If Google Earth shows details upto 200 metres distance and Wikimapia upto 50 metres, Bhuvan will show images upto 10 metres, which means you can easily see details upto a three floor high building and also add information.

Unlike the other two webmaps, Bhuvan will focus only on the Indian sub-continent.

The information on Bhuvan will be layer wise and the options of viewing filtered information will be available. Inputs from a lot of local players, like farmers, fishermen and likes who know the local area in and out, will also being integrated in Bhuvan.

Advantages of Bhuvan over Google Earth

Bhuvan (Google)

Zoom levels up to 10 mt (Zoom levels up to 200 mt)
Multi-layer information (Single layer information)
Images upgraded every year (Images upgraded every 4 years)
Options of viewing on different dates (No alternate viewing options)
Uses Indian satellites (Uses international satellites)
