Google Wave has been all the talk this week, with the instant-messaging on steroids collaboration tool - yes, we know that’s a gross oversimplification - expanding its reach to 100,000 beta testers.
FT techtalk, a much more modest beta launched on Friday using CoveritLive’s service, is instant messaging with just a few bells and whistles.
Below is the transcript of the FT San Francisco bureau’s review of the week’s tech news and look forward to what’s coming next in Silicon Valley and beyond.
Please join us next week at the same time. Your questions and comments will be welcome and included in the stream…or small wave… that we hope to create here LIVE…at 0800 Pacific time, 1500GMT, 1600BST on Fridays.
