Official Google Enterprise Blog: Waving hello to Google Apps

Google Wave has been generating lots of interest among Google Apps users since we unveiled it in May at Google I/O, our annual developer conference. Today we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be opening up access to Google Wave for some schools and businesses as part of the preview this fall. And while we won’t be able to open it up to all Google Apps users just yet, we hope to bring Google Wave to all Google Apps users next year. If you’re a Google Apps administrator and you’re interested in testing Google Wave, you can sign up here.

Official Gmail Blog: New in Calendar: Sports schedules and contacts’ birthdays

People keep track of lots of things in their Google Calendars — meetings, business trips, due dates and conference calls. But when I started my summer internship at Google, I wondered why it wasn’t easier to add calendar events for the fun stuff in life, like birthdays and sports schedules.

Now, when you look under “Other Calendars,” click “Add,” then “Browse Interesting Calendars” (or use this link to the Calendar directory), you’ll find calendars for hundreds of teams in dozens of sports leagues — everything from the National Football League to the Korean FA Cup.

SiliconRepublic.com: Gmail outage blamed on server miscalculation – CIO

For many people who depend on Gmail it must have seemed like the earth stood still … for two hours anyway as the service experience a very rare outage.

Yesterday between 12:30 p.m. PDT to about 2:30 p.m. PDT (that’s 8.30pm GMT to 10.30pm GMT here) Gmail experienced an outage and millions of people who depend on the service for running their business, staying in touch with loved ones or backing up data could not access the service.

It is understood that the problem occurred when Google took a number of Gmail servers offline for maintenance.

Google Wave To Splash Down This Fall | jatiN mahindrA doT coM

There’s fresh word this afternoon about when (and to whom) Google Wave will become available. Schools and businesses that use Google Apps appear to be first in a line that should start moving this fall.

A post on the Official Google Enterprise Blog announced, “While the product, platform and protocols are still being developed, we’re extending access to some of the highly collaborative people and communities we hope to benefit in the future – businesses and schools. In turn, we look forward to learning from these Google Apps users, so we can continue to tweak and develop the product as we gain insight from their experiences.”
