So what is this Google Wave thing?
I get that Google Wave is an attempt to re-invent a modernized version of email. But its mashup of email, documents, and social networking is kinda hard to get your head around. For me at least, this video helped.
And if you still don't know WTF the big deal is, take a look at Lifehacker's excellent in-depth review.
Google Wave is the next big thing, Email 2.0, and they are now ready to release it out into the wild. The cool thing is they are letting a select "few" try it out before everyone else. 100,000 people are going to get a chance to try it out, and also invite other people.

I enjoy searching up what people are talking about in my area with the newly renamed iPhone app Echofon (formerly Twitterfon), but what if I'm looking to see what people are talking about in Las Vegas? Or New York? Having that ability would be a pretty neat one if anything.
TrendsMap is exactly that. Go anywhere on the map and find the current Twitter trends by country, state, or city. Zoom in, zoom out, do whatever you want to be in the know as to what people are talking about all around you.
This is the dream of all Twitter junkies, an app store for Twitter apps only. OneForty is this store, and man o man is it ever cool!
The site has over 1,300 free and paid applications and services built on Twitter’s API, where people can search for, rate and buy Twitter apps. The site also features lists of the most popular apps on the web.
This is the next best thing to twitter itself! This site, and company makes revenue by sending people to the applications actual website and gets an affiliate fee.
The site is in private beta at the moment, but Tech Crunch has a tip for you.
"We have 100 invites to try out the site just click here
and use the code: TC140"
Twitter's 140 character limit has spawned a new way to think of URL's. Bit.ly is the new standard for shortening links, but now it's gotten even easier. On their site you can drag and drop their sidebar onto your browser's bookmark bar, which now lets you simply click it and generate for you a shortned URL whenever you're at page you'd like to share.
Another feature on the main site is being able to directly upload a piece of media (picture, video, audio) and give it its own shareable, shortened link. In essence Bit.ly has become a one stop shop for twitter, facebook, or anywhere else you'd like to dump a link to share with your friends.
