Happy Google Wave day! Well not actually a holiday, today was an anticipated day in the ever evolving world of Web 2.0. Google Wave’s preview launched today. The Wave is being billed as the next big Internet idea, the next great connectivity medium. For those that are asking the question “what’s next after Facebook and Twitter?” today might be the first day they start getting their answers.

What exactly does the Wave do? It was designed to be the next generation of Internet communication and although it has the potential to become a social phenomenon, right now, at the very start of its life, it looks to be catered towards businesses. It uses “waves” to replace e-mail. Waves are XML based conversations and documents, basically an advanced combination of G-mail and Google Docs (if you use these services). Messages can be sent with links, embedded video, pictures and documents to multiple collaborators who can seamlessly comment or add to the wave. How is this different from a regular e-mail chain? It merges the functions of instant messaging, e-mail, file uploading services and content sharing communities. Basically, it’s the new era of teleconferencing. It mimics a conference room or a social setting. It’s open source, meaning that when it is released to the public developers will be able to create their own, unique applications for it.

The potential of Google Wave is astonishing, but it is not open to the public right now. 100,000 invites were sent out today, but millions were requested. If you weren’t one of the lucky ones who received an invite to Google Wave we have the next best thing for you: this t-shirt! Sure, maybe you requested an invite to Google Wave and all you got was this lousy t-shirt, but it’s better than nothing!

Today marks the holy Jewish day of Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the holiest of days for the Jewish religion, it occurs every year on the 10th day of the Tishri. It is a Day of Atonement where the Jewish people atone for their sins of the past year. There is no work or school for observers of this holiday. A 25 hour fast, which means no food or drink, is observed from sunset on the evening before to nightfall the day of Yom Kippur. The only people excluding from fasting are young children, pregnant women and those with medical diseases.

Celebrate Yom Kippur with a t-shirt honoring the holiest of the days. On our designer we have plenty of different Jewish designs you can use in our clip art library, or you can upload your very own clip art. We created an example t-shirt that you can use as a template if you want to. Here’s wishing everyone a good Yom Kippur.

September 25th, 2009; the day AT&T; finally debuted MMS messaging. MMS had been commonplace among many other phone services for a few years, but AT&T; was late to the game. No big deal right? Well since AT&T; was the lone service provider for the ever-so-popular iPhone, this was a huge deal. When the iPhone debutedMMS messaging in the summer it wasn’t met with universal praise because AT&T; couldn’t support it yet, and there was no other option for iPhone users. As we wrote back then, AT&T; was iPhone’s anchor.

Today is a day for iPhone fans to rejoice, they finally have their MMS. Never mind the fact that there are already questions about AT&T;’s ability to handle the mass MMSing that is sure to occur. MMS, which allows picture, video and audio messaging, only amounts to about 2.5% of all messaging, but it is still an important service for all cell phone providers to offer. We made a t-shirt for the momentous occasion, you can get it here. Bust out your iPhone, send your friend a picture message and enjoy the good life . . . until the service crashes.
