One word says it all, GOOGLE, in my opinion is synonymous with cool.
GOOGLE is pushing farther forward and actually utilizing the internet to the best of its abilities than we could have ever imagined. Know, I'm not saying that google is the only kid on the block, but hey, guess what my spellchecker just told me to capitalize the world google, clearly the company is making an impression.
The company has made efforts to make our internet experience all the more exciting. I have recently got my hands on a GOOGLE WAVE account, and after watching their self proclaimed looooooong video, I was so pumped to get it up and running.
If you are looking for a way to kill some time, check out the video yourself.

If you don't feel like sitting through the 1.5hr long video here is a brief overview provided by GOOGLE pm's
In addition to the technologies we are all already familiar with:
Youtube, Google search, Blogger, Google Earth, they are also getting into advertising and telephone services. The company has already penetrated the cell phone market with its Android operating system and plans to unveil its own phone.
What does this have to do with e-business? Well google is the internet (strong words, I know)

How to crash a White House State Dinner Party
1. Dress up nicely
2. Shmooze with the right people
3. Act with class
4. Take lots of pictures
5. Post pictures on facebook of you crashing party
6. Insist you were invited when the secret service comes knocking
We wonder if the digital world is safe, yet the Americans and their special secret service cannot even keep the party crashers at bay. Here is an article with a picture of the couple at the white house gala.
Polo-playing socialites Tareq and Michaele Salahi posted a pic on their joint Facebook account of Michaele mingling with Vice President Joe Biden among other photos, but a White House official told the Washington Post that the couple was not invited to the dinner and were never seated at a table in the South Lawn tent.
