Recently, a friend showed me of this new thing called Google Wave and I thought I couldn't care less for another google application and I did not want to watch the 1 hour 20 minute presentation to find out what it was all about. But he then showed me an abridged version which I did watch, and this is amazing!

 

 

 

It takes a while to explain but basically it's internet communication with a whole bunch of features, if you want to know more watch the following videos.

Thoughts?

You can't try and explain what it is? That would be so much easier.

It looks basically like Windows Live on steroids. Which is good, because Windows Live hates my OS.

What he said. If you want to know what it is, watch the abridged version.

Looks pretty cool, I just signed up in advance.

 

 

 

The character-by-character public-visibility seems kind of intrusive but I'm sure I'd get used to it.

Looks groovy.

 

 

 

You could probably achieve all that though by using MSN and google docs and stuff. Still it looks pretty good :)

So its basically a new instant messaging service with a hundred million differnt app type things that it can do?

 

 

 

The only thing is, Looks like it will take up alot of computer loading?

 

 

 

And lol at the sig Racheya, why single mine out i didn't mean for it to all happen :cry:

Wow, this is really cool. It adds a lot of features integrated into one thing that other clients haven't done before. Can't wait till it comes out...but will it replace MSN?

I hope it does. MSN is [cabbage].

Looks great; BUT, will it be available for Mac :uhh:

 

 

 

I still await Chrome for Mac.

This wikipedia article explains it pretty well without having to watch a ten minute video.

It's browser based, so it should work with any os.

You can disable it though, as he said in the video.

Looks hot. I'm a huge fan of Google's products. Can't be bothered to watch the whole ten minutes so I'll ask it here: is it possible to communicate with MSN users via Google Wave? Or was that sort of stuff not mentioned in the presentation?

That's not mentioned at all, but it looks much better than MSN to be honest so everyone may end up using it.

alot of things are better than MSN, but MSN is so embedded nowdays as the instant messaging service to use, much as google is the search engine, it will be incredibly hard to get people away from MSN. It's all well and good techy people using wave, but the everyday folk will still use msn.

Doubtful. IT'll take a while before something that is so well known and incorporated on every Windows machine is dead and gone. I surely hope everyone will stop using MSN, but in the mean time, it would be nice if I could talk to those remaining MSN users while using Google Wave. I hope it'll be able to work on multiple networks, and not just on a Google network.
