Narrowing the Distance

Sorry for such a long time between posts.  We’ve been wrapped up in a few big projects that ate up all of our time.  Hopefully things will be better in the coming months.  Anyway, I’m sure this isn’t new news to many, but Google released their version of web based collaboration software not long ago.  Currently you have to have an invitation to use it (similar to what they did with email when gmail was released).  I finally received an invite and have had a chance to experiment with it.  My first thought is that it will be very cool if you can get people to buy into it.  Personally I use google for email, calendar, document management and other things, so I will no doubt be using Google Wave for collaboration.  Here’s a short video from their “googlewave” channel that explains what it is fairly well:

First off, apologies to anyone who still drops by to see if this blog is still being updated.  Our last post was around 6 months ago, but that’s all about to change.  In fact, Innovative Communications Group has been going through several changes recently.  In addition to expanding our services, we’ve re-designed our website (www.innocommgroup.com) and our blog.  Our new name is Narrowing the Distance, which we believe speaks to what we try to help people do.  This distance may be physical, such as training and support around the globe, or local and apply to effective presentation techniques, learning strategies, resources and more.

Start checking back often or just subscribe to our blog.  Our goal is to role a post out every week with an occasional update in between.
