Google moves one step closer to world wide web domination

Google has once again dominated internet conversations. People clamored over each other trying to get an invite to the beta release of Google Wave.

Only 100,000 invites were given out and each invited person was given eight invites. Contest were constructed, promises were made and hoops were jumped though to get one of the precious invites. The irony is, as far as I know,  very few people that were invited by the inital 100,000 have received their Google Wave invite.

While you wait on your Google Wave invite, check out Google Wave: A Complete Guide to see what you’re missing.

Another app has been released to much less fanfare. Google Sidewiki is a toolbar application that allows users to add more content and provide context to a website. Imagine visiting a website and being able to add more information for others to see. Sidewiki does just that.

The release has been applauded for it’s user interaction and criticized for allowing people to add content that wasn’t provided by the original site creator.

Taking the offline to the online, Google announced the release of TED 5000 (The Energy Detective) from Energy Inc. The device is a home energy monitoring device that measures a home’s electrical usage in real-time. The Google PowerMeter takes that information and puts it online or your mobile phone.

Personally I think this is a great way to be more aware of your power consumption and helps people decrease their energy useage.

Finally incase you think Google might becoming the Microsoft, Hitwise is reporting that Google controls 71% of the search engine market share.
