Is anyone using Google Wave?
A member asks...
"I'm about to start trying out Google Wave. Is anyone else using this technology?… I wonder if Google Wave can or will be used to publish content to a website or whether it will just be a independent Google application.

Another member needs advice. Can you help?
"How would you advice an 80 year old home owner who bought a home in the last 3 years and now has a mortgage that she can no longer afford. She has tried to get a loan modification but has been told that she does not qualify because she is not behind in her payments. There ...is no way she can continue to pay the mortgage...
