  1. GMAIL...GOOGLE DOC....& GOOGLE WAVE

    CAN THESE TECHNOLOGIES BE CALLED A RE-INVENTION OR INNOVATION ON E-MAIL

    With These Technologies, a business large or small can possibly function under one roof and onto one platform all of its office applications: A place where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps and more, Rasmussen wrote in a posting on the official Google blog.
    Think of an open-source version of Gmail constructed via instant messaging. To start a wave, two users start what is essentially an instant-message session, which can be archived as a conversation. Other users can then be invited to join each wave or conversation, and there's even a "playback" feature to track the process of the conversation.

    1. From a video i watched on youtube (see link)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ykZYKCK7AM&feature=player_embedded. It shows that these Technologies are both distributive and runs concurrently.

    2. if two or more people have been working in parallel on the same document and they now come to upload the different cached copies to the server. i think there will be interrupts and slow time in processing from the server end since these document is being stored as a single copy on the server and now two clients are uploading 2 different version of a single document, the server may find it difficult to dictate which copy is actually from a particular client and there may also be slow time in processing because the clients are trying to use the same shared memory on the server. but thanks to Service Oriented Approach (SOA) which tends to handle these discrepancy or problems.

    3. From Video i watched on SOA (see link) http://www-01.ibm.com/software/solutions/soa/flash/Build03.swf
    SOA can be described as loosely coupled platforms or set of programs that allows internet users to read, use and share the internet applications and web services. SOA is an approach that allows different application to run on different platforms thereby allowing internet users to use applications and web services not minding the programming language or tools that was used to design them. SOA is an innovative idea which is required since most if not all sectors of the global economy now migrate from traditional to the world wide web.
