We’ve just been accepted into Google Wave beta, Google’s new social networking site, and Facebook/Twitter rival. We’re testing it out, and should get a review of it out in a week or so. We have 6 invites, for any of you who want to help us test it. First come, first serve. Please email admin@pcmole.com for invites. We ask that those of you who do get invites, that you provide us with your opinion of Google Wave–any pros or cons you can find. You can either email your opinions in, or post them to the PCmole forums.

A Look at Google's New Rival, Bing.com
If are tired of using Google and want to try something different, or you dislike Google’s political agenda but want a decent search engine, then the next thing you’ll want to do will probably be to point your browser to www.bing.com, Microsoft’s new search engine. Bing shows a daily picture of a city with historical information about it, and includes news, image and video searches. The video search uses video thumbnails, which are a quick way to preview (or even watch the whole) movie. Bing even includes it’s own news search feature, much like Google News. The streamlined ‘gallery’ format makes for a great multimedia experience, the only time you could have any trouble is on slow internet speeds. Bing also has a blogging service, a new competitor for Google’s Blogger.com. Overall, Bing.com is definitely worth checking out. It seems to be catching on after only a few days of being advertised in the media and otherwise and could very well give Google a run for it’s money.
