Facebook Chat for AIM?

Today on mashable I read that you can now use Facebook Chat from AIM instant messenger.

Since I am always looking for the most convent way to connect with friends and such on the internet, I decided to try it out.

What is it?: Facebook and AIM Instant Messenger have teamed up and made Facebook Chat be accessible to users who use AIM in their new Beta.

At First Glance: It seems nice that you can connect with a highly used chat program, since anyone who has been on the computer for a while has heard of AIM or AOL Instant Messenger. With this connectivity, it seems flawless.

In Depth Look: Most people have moved past AIM onto other messengers such as MSN or Skype. AIM is hardly used today and has features that are out of date. For anyone on a mac that uses AIM usually connects to it through iChat or some other chat program that supports different messengers.

LLIOF Conclusion: A great concept that should be used in more in later projects. Since I am on a mac, it seems like too much of a hassle for me, and I would much rather use Gabtastik or the intergraded chat itself. I give this new feature a three out of five.

Google Wave Invites

I have 10 google wave invites I am willing to give out.

As some of you saw, I got into the Google Wave Beta testing, and have been in it long enough to receive invites I can give out.

Who can get them? Anyone.

Why are you doing this? Just helping spread the word about Google Wave and helping attract visitors.

How do I get this invite? Just comment on this post (anyone can post a comment) and leave a brief reason to why you think you should get a google wave invite and your e-mail. You can also send me an e-mail at Liarliariceonfire@gmail.com.

I will send them out as fast as I can. I will post when all of my invites are sent. I will try to get more invites as time goes on. Please be patient.

Google Wave

I was one of the lucky people to get into the Google Wave trial, thanks to Corey Wells over at youquoted.com.

After a waiting period of around 3 days for my invite, I opened up google wave to see what I thought was one of the most innovative things I have seen.

Google Wave could be a big hit in schools for posting notes, pictures, or even just asking questions, and posting videos. It features the ability to imbed videos into the 'Wave' and also a playback feature.

I have not been able to test Google Wave to the fullest yet, but I plan to. The reason for that is...I have no friends who are in the Google Wave preview.

I will get back to you later on with more things on Google Wave. Please be patient until I write a better review for this.

I do know of Google Wave's full potential thanks to a video I saw on the web. (I forgot the original website)

Here is that video:
