More than a month long wait for Google Wave invite is over. Today morning I received an invitation mail from Google to access Google Wave. Here is the screen grab of my Google Wave inbox.

At a first glance the UI looks very much similar to GMail, but after spending couple of minutes I understood that Google Wave UI is many times powerful than GMail. As I want to blog about this first, i did not explore Google Wave much .

The more you use Facebook, the more you love it. As I explore Facebook and it’s features, I’m learning new things. Here is something I learnt new in Facebook – how to set Status Updates page as home page so that I’ll see the status updates as the first thing when logged in.

It’s very simple. Here are simple steps to be followed

1. Click on the More link available just below the left side menu. Now you see an expanded menu list with a stack icon next to each menu item.

3. Drag the Status Updates menu item and move it to the top. That’s all. From now onwards when you login to Facebook, you will see Status Updates as your home page. That’s simple and useful right!

In fact you can set any of the left side menu items as your homepage by just dragging it top the top of the list.
