I just read some exciting news about Google Wave.
Wave is not released yet so I can’t talk about it from my own experience but I will refer to you www.technocrunch.com for a interesting prerelease review of it.
For those who don’t yet know, I love Google products, especially their smooth interfaces and great user experience.
I can’t wait until its released!
I just wanted to share this website which my collegue just sent me.
You can click on to each item and read a snipet of the article for example, and click through to the full article if need be.
It’s certainly attractive to look at but it still needs some refinement.
I’ve seen variations of this, one interesting one (which i have to dig up the URL for) is a photo search engine, which searches the interenet for a word you enter and creates a globe of images that match your search. If you have a unique name, searching for your name will result in some interesting outcomes!
If you thought the User Interface (UI) used by Tom Cruise in Minority Report was fantastic, then you will be happy to hear it is finally a reality!
Imagine throwing out the mouse and using both arms to control the interface in front of you!
Although i have to say it must be tiring for your arms, its a exciting prospect!
What are your thoughts about the practicality of such an interface? It has potential in gaming that’s for sure!
I know this is totally unrelated to IA or Usability, but i feel the need to let you know about this fantastic opportunity: www.islandreefjob.com
If you haven’t already heard, it is a chance to work in the Great Barrier Reef for 6 months, and doing everything you’ve always dreamt of; feeding the fish, snorkeling and sight seeing and then reporting back using social media and web 2.0 tools, such as blogs etc.
The overwelming response they have received from applicants from around the world has crashed their website serveral times!
Well who wouldn’t dream of such a job? Talk about doing what you love and loving what you do! 
You can read more about it here!
