I don’t wait for Google anymore to come up with the “cool stuff”. I use NomaDesk, a neat collaboration workspace solution, which does pretty much the platypus/Gdrive stuff and more! I suggest you all try it. It’s free during beta.

* Delta-sync — The most efficient way to ensure all team-documents are kept synchronized between NomaDesk members, seamlessly and automatically.

* Email2Folder — Email team-documents directly into sub-folders.

* FileLink — Creating links to team-documents that can be shared with people outside of your team, securely and for a limited time.

* Access and manage team-documents directly from Windows Explorer - even when offline!

* Invite/Remove team members from this NomaDesk workspace.

Most of the chatter on the GDrive seems to be focused on using it for offline storage. I actually think the more interesting concept here is using it (or something like it) as your primary storage and synchronizing the files you need to all your devices on demand.

In other words, don’t carry around your files (or stuff them on an external hard drive under your desk) - let them live in the cloud.

Of course Google is going to have to step up with more than a few gigs of space and a pretty fancy synchronization strategy but the concept is pretty cool.

“Rhuggle is a non-factor for us, they are at best an annoyance, a rash in an inconvenient place!”

They all looked at me with that fake confused look, so I went on to explain:

“Google is not ahead of us, In the area of search specifically, Google would lead.”

At that point, a dozen hands went up, “rista Ballma-san, rista Ballma-san! rista Ballma-san, rista Ballma-san!”
I ignored them all!
I wasn’t going to fall for that MSJp44 acknowledgement thing again, so I decided to have a little fun with them:

“Rhuggle is a bunch of boy scouts with no den-master! They are just a bunch of spoiled rich kids on a perpetual holiday, no order or discipline. They only exist in that I allow it, I find them amusing, it’s like watching a house on fire or some other tragedy, you know it’s repulsive but you just can’t look away!”

The reporters were taking in my words like Saki, they just couldn’t get enough! So I decided to throw them one more bone!

“I have to go now, but since I’m on Rhuggle, let me say this about this ‘Android” thing they announced: It is just like the rest of Google ..ahem, I mean Rhuggle, IT ONLY EXIST ON PAPER! Don’t fall for this vaporware, rumors, fake-half-baked hype that they peddle!”

Here’s hoping. Though I need them to give us a reasonable amount of space - 25-50 GB. I’m sure designing GDrive software wasn’t the hard part, implementing the architecture on the back-end at a reasonable price might be another issue.

This would be great news, but definitely more security concerns. I already rely on Google/Gmail too much as it is…

Google has just announced a new Social Network for Lapdancers called GString.

Google has just announced they are working on a Broadband Service that is faster than the speed of sound. The GWhiz is coming very very soon.

Google has just announced a new Mobile Service called G.e.ni.us which turns dumb kids into Harvard geniuses - by giving them answers to every single question possible, via Mobile Phone Texts.

Google has just announced the opening of a new research wing at their HQ called the GSpot. So far only females have joined up, as all of the male employees have failed to find the signs for the GSpot.

Another day. Another Google announcement.

Can we all stop going Ga Ga over Google.

This is good. I might use it. I wouldn’t trust anyone except Google to be competent enough to store my data and not lose it, or, even worse, deliberately erase it when internal corporate strategies change.
