Google Wave Failure: Lesson Learned for Diffusion of an Online Collaboration Tool
GOOGLE WAVE FAILURE: LESSON LEARNED FOR DIFFUSION OF AN ONLINE COLLABORATION TOOL Laddawan Kaewkitipong Peter Ractham Department of Management Information Systems Thammasat Business School, Thammasat University Thailand INTRODUCTION Background and Motivation Collaboration has become increasingly important to the success of today’s enterprises. Modern organizations have been attempting to capitalize on their ability to collaborate between business units and manufacturing facilities to develop better products and services [17]. To achieve their goals, they no longer rely only on internal collaboration within their organization, but also on working closely and exchanging ideas with external partners. In other words, collaboration is viewed as a critical success factor in achieving a sustainable competitive advantage [2]. The need to collaborate is also seen in everyday’s life. A family, which has one or more family members who live abroad, might need to find a way to plan their holiday together. A group of friends who want to organize a party may need a tool to help them obtain common decisions more efficiently. As a result, many collaboration tools have been implemented to facilitate this kind of information sharing as well as decision-making tasks. Nevertheless, little has been reported on adoption success of such tools. In fact, diffusion of collaboration tools still remains as one of the most challenging problems in the area of IS research [31, 43]. Challenged by the problems and considering collaboration important activities, Google has launched many online tools to promote collaboration. Some of their popular tools are Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Calendar. An infamous tool, Google Wave, was one of the most ambitious products which many features that can help to facilitate online collaboration. -

This raises the following important a ghost town. This begs the question that ”whether G+ can question: “Can a new OSN such as G+ really attract a sig- really attract a significant number of connected and active nificant number of engaged users and be a relevant player users despite the dominance of Facebook and Twitter?”. in the social media market?”.

Like most good stories, the story of house calls has a humble beginning. in 1940 the majority of provider visits saw their patients in their homes. in 1960 house calls by providers were 40% of the doctor-patient meetings. in 1980 that number dropped to less than 1%. Benefits of house calls • Offers insights not available during an office visit • Provides accessible healthcare for the patient • Helps to save money by helping to keep those who are having a minor ailment from turning into a major operation. The decline of the house call • Lack of efficiency • Time required • Fewer family physicians • Poor reimbursement • Biomedical knowledge and technology • Growth of 3rd party payers • Heightened liability concerns Why are house calls coming back? • Projected increase in the number of elderly • Consumer demand • Hospital readmission reduction • The concept also has had "absolute rock-solid bipartisan support" among federal lawmakers. -

Re-Engineering Apache Wave Into a General-Purpose Federated & Collaborative Platform
Awakening Decentralised Real-time Collaboration: Re-engineering Apache Wave into a General-purpose Federated & Collaborative Platform Pablo Ojanguren-Menendez, Antonio Tenorio-Forn´es,and Samer Hassan GRASIA: Grupo de Agentes Software, Ingenier´ıay Aplicaciones, Departamento de Ingenier´ıadel Software e Inteligencia Artificial, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, 28040, Spain fpablojan, antonio.tenorio, [email protected] Abstract. Real-time collaboration is being offered by plenty of libraries and APIs (Google Drive Real-time API, Microsoft Real-Time Commu- nications API, TogetherJS, ShareJS), rapidly becoming a mainstream option for web-services developers. However, they are offered as cen- tralised services running in a single server, regardless if they are free/open source or proprietary software. After re-engineering Apache Wave (for- mer Google Wave), we can now provide the first decentralised and fed- erated free/open source alternative. The new API allows to develop new real-time collaborative web applications in both JavaScript and Java en- vironments. Keywords: Apache Wave, API, Collaborative Edition, Federation, Op- erational Transformation, Real-time 1 Introduction Since the early 2000s, with the release and growth of Wikipedia, collaborative text editing increasingly gained relevance in the Web [1]. Writing texts in a collaborative manner implies multiple issues, especially those concerning the management and resolution of conflicting changes: those performed by different participants over the same part of the document. These are usually handled with asynchronous techniques as in version control systems for software development [2] (e.g. SVN, GIT), resembled by the popular wikis. However, some synchronous services for collaborative text editing have arisen during the past decade. -

Why Google Chrome? It Serves As the Base for the Upcoming OS
GOOGLE MAY BE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD Joshua Neds-Fox Wayne State Univ. and Why That’s Not Necessarily a Bad Thing GOOGLE IS… You know what Google is. Google is the de facto go-to search interface for the web. Google's mission: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. 2009 saw significant improvements to Google’s search algorithm, along with the introduction of real-time search. GOOGLE IS… Advertising. It’s the business model. AdWords and AdSense are their chief products. Google’s number one revenue stream: Advertising. $22.9 Billion in advertising revenue in 2009. That’s 96.7% of their total revenue.

Yes, it does. So which is it? Advertising? Or organizing the world's information? Both. It has to do the second to do the first. GOOGLE IS… “The remarkable thing about these software mega- brands is that they employ bright, forward-looking technologists and have unprecedented access to capital and development resource — they leave no stone unturned in their quests to expand into relevant future markets.” Mar 25, 2010, “The Green Battle: Microsoft and Google Fight for Our Energy Data,” Alix Vance on The Scholarly Kitchen (Society for Scholarly Publishing’s Blog) http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2010/03/25/the- green-battle-microsoft-and-google-fight-for-our-energy-data/ GOOGLE IS… “Google's overriding interest is to (a) maximize the amount and velocity of the traffic flowing through the web and (b) ensure that as large a percentage of that traffic as possible goes through its search engine and is exposed to its ads. -
Mapping Web Personal Learning Environments
Mapping Web Personal Learning Environments Matthias Palmér1,Stéphane Sire2,Evgeny Bogdanov2, Denis Gillet2 and Fridolin Wild3 1 Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden, [email protected] 2 École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, {stephane.sire, evgeny.bogdanov, denis.gillet}@epfl.ch 3 The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, [email protected] Abstract.A recent trend in web development is to build platforms which are carefully designed to host a plurality of software components (sometimes called widgets or plugins) which can be organized or combined (mashed-up) at user's convenience to create personalized environments. The same holds true for the web development of educational applications. The degree of personalization can depend on the role of users such as in traditional virtual learning environment, where the components are chosen by a teacher in the context of a course. Or, it can be more opened as in a so-called personalized learning environment (PLE). It now exists a wide array of available web platforms exhibiting different functionalities but all built on the same concept of aggregating components together to support different tasks and scenarios. There is now an overlap between the development of PLE and the more generic developments in web 2.0 applications such as social network sites. This article shows that 6 more or less independent dimensions allow to map the functionalities of these platforms: the screen dimensionmaps the visual integration, the data dimension mapsthe portability of data, the temporal dimension mapsthe coupling between participants, the social dimension maps thegrouping of users, the activity dimension mapsthe structuring of end users’ interactions with the environment, and the runtime dimensionmaps the flexibility in accessing the system from different end points. -

Google Wave Platform: Exploring the Settings for Personalized Learning
Google Wave Platform: Exploring the Settings for Personalized Learning Malinka Ivanova1, Javed Alam2 1 Technical University - Sofia, College of Energetics and Electronics, Blvd. Kl. Ohridski 8, Sofia 1000, Bulgaria [email protected] 2Youngstown State University, College of Science,Technology, Engineering & Mathematics Youngstown, Ohio 44555, USA [email protected] Abstract. The Google Wave is a communication, collaboration and rich media document creation platform that is in focus of educators and researchers, because of its capable to be harnessed for educational purposes. The paper discusses characteristics of Google Wave those facilitate creation of personalized learning spaces accessible to students anywhere and anytime. They are examined with aim to support and enhance the knowledge receiving during several engineering courses and students’ projects. The findings are generalized in a model that is applied in practice. The paper also highlights student experiences in using Google Wave in various learning situations. Keywords: personalized learning, Google Wave, collaboration, networking, real-time, on-demand 1 Introduction A recent trend in developing innovative eLearning environments is to combine or create mashups of existing software components, applications and services. Such an approach increases possibilities for widening the set of learning scenarios and allows high degree of personalization. Also, more attention is concentrated on architectures for supporting personalized learning: through empowering the functionality of given eLearning environment (integrated approach – e.g. Elgg) or using individual applications (distributed approach – e.g. start pages, feed readers, wikis, blogs, etc.) [1], [2], [3], [4]. From pedagogical point of view eLearning environments are collaborative and non-collaborative depending upon the way knowledge is created either through collaborative learning activities or through performing stand-alone tasks.
