I’ve had a miserable experience with RSS feeds in Outlook. There are feeds (suc as those from teh Stack Overflow Trilogy sites) that I just know should update at least every few minutes, yet Outlook often takes an hour or more to show any changes.

So what is Google Wave and what’s all the fuss? Well, you really have to try it, but it is a mashup of email, instant messaging, blogging, document sharing and collaboration. It has the potential to really shake up the established order and create a whole new way of collaborating. For businesses...
