It may not catch on huge at first, but just due to the small differences and improvements Wave makes on literally e-mail, IM, and social networks, it will certainly grab a good chunk of their users.]]>Aug 6th 2009 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/Aug 6th 2009 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/There is an option to disable the real time typing!]]>Aug 7th 2009 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/
Good call. I have to do the same thing with e-mail (no aim) and it sucks. ]]>Aug 7th 2009 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/
You don't get the point of why someone would want to see what you're writing in real time? You ever have a conversation with someone in real life? You know, where they hear what you say as you say it? You've never taken back something you've said out loud? Maybe GoogleWave we'll make talking to people online a little bit more natural. I can't image that being that bad of an idea, but that's just me...]]>Oct 1st 2009 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/Oct 1st 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/Aug 6th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/Aug 6th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/Aug 6th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/Aug 6th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/Aug 6th 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/
That's as silly as claiming why would anyone want 'TCP/IP'.

Wave isn't a product. It is a set of fundamental technologies that radically enhance virtually every type of social or collaborative Net application that exists today.

It is not going to be until some time next year when the first real Wave based apps start rolling out and enough Wave servers are setup outside of Google for it to become obvious just how game changing Wave is going to be for the Net.

Same thing was said about telephone at the brink of 20th century.

Wave will enable collaboration on everything across the planet. Whether its a source code, legal document, party plans, business strategy, project plans, product description, sales brochure, research paper, etc etc etc... I would kill to have wave when I was writing "team" papers in school.

I still don't get what WAVE is - it's too complex for one reply, it's too confusing for tracking of the whole project. There are solid solutions for project tracking (calendar, contacts, messages, documents, tasks, repository, ...).

Put plainly, the clown writing this garbage doesn't have a F-ing clue what Wave is or means for the future of Net communications and collaboration.

"does it live up to teh hype?"

Absolutely embarrassing. Wave isn't some game or cellphone that fanboys are rooting for or against.

Wave is a set of protocols and technologies that are in the early stages of fundamentally changing the way:

* Email apps

* Instant messaging apps

* Collaboration apps

* Version control apps

* Message board apps

are written and implemented. Every single one of those types of app developers are looking right now at either embracing Wave or being left behind by new competing products built upon Wave tech that makes their existing product look like a TRS-80 compared to today's modern desktop computers.

Par for the course here. Anyone with any understanding of underlying technologies and standards can easily see how this particular application has the potential to really change up collaboration on the interwebz. ]]>Aug 6th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/

Whether the tech is 'needed' or not is irrelevant. Once people start using Wave, they won't know how they lived without it. (and how ghetto regular email really is)

It is what it is, and whether or not it ends up being popular or revolutionary is not something we can foresee at the moment. It's interesting, who could argue against that? We can say we *think* it will be amazing (or terrible), but we don't *know* anything really. So just chill...]]>Aug 6th 2009 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/google-wave-dev-preview-hands-on-and-impressions/
Studies have indicated there's a change in how we accomplish our work and with what kind of tools. Applications must come together in a ' Single' interface where all required functionality is presented to do one's job. Of course combined with Enterprise Class Security.

Wave, as you have said it, is a set of protocols that can enable this kind of functionality. It's no wonder that a 'MAJOR' player in Enterprise Social Networking software, who also have a vast market share with a other Collaboration solutions, have already adopted Google's Wave-Protocol suite to embed in their solutions. Results of that shall be announced by the end of this year!

So yes! Within in that respect 'Wave' is indeed revolutionary!

Wave is a completely open spec and open source set of technologies that are designed to run on any server and function in a federated capacity with no central controlling authority.

Google will have no more ability to control and monitor Wave traffic than they can email on the Net.

Yes the first servers are Google based, but that is only due to the fact that Google initiated the project. There are already early non-Google Wave servers that people are developing on that are 100 percent independent of Google.

Or: One person puts out a link in a chat thread. But the link has a typo, and somebody else fixes it. The destination changes locations, and the person who moved it also changes the link.
