Google claims it’s newest product called Wave is all set to rewire email and chatting.
Wave is a web-based application that puts together multiple forms of communication and collaboration, including chat, mail and wikis, into a unified interface.
Everything inside Wave happens in real time: You can even see a comment being made as the person is typing it, character-by-character.
How it will eventually be useful to all of us will be revealed in another two months when Google launches it’s beta version.
The idea behind Glassdoor is simple: You tell me your salary, and I’ll tell you mine. The stealth startup, which raised $3 million from Benchmark Capital last March, just went live. The site collects company reviews and real salaries from employees of large companies and displays them anonymously for all members to see.
The idea is to collect as much detailed salary information and feedback for every job title at a company so that job seekers can know how to evaluate an offer, and current employees can see how they are doing relative to their peers.
So how much does a Google software engineer really make? Adding salary and bonus together, the Google engineers that have entered information on Glassdoor average $112,573 in take-home pay. (And then there are stock options on top of that).
