Latinoking Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Product managers, Stephanie and Greg explain many of the features of Google Wave. Learn more at http://wave.google.com Product managers, Stephanie and Greg explain many of the features of Google Wave. Learn more at http://wave.google.com Google Wave is "a personal communication and collaboration tool" announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009. It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by extensions that can provide, for example, robust spelling/grammar checking, automated translation between 40 languages, and numerous other extensions. Initially released only to developers, a "preview release" of Google Wave has been extended to about 600,000 users since September 30, 2009, with the initial 100,000 users each allowed to invite up to eight additional users. http://en.wikipedia....iki/Google_wave Who needs email and other stuff when you have Google Wave?

deletemeplease Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 There's two ways to look at it.Instant messaging is essentially faster email.So email was downgraded when messenger came out.But many still kept using it.I think the same will happen with Wave, but it will degrade email and messenger. Although, I also believe a lot of people are not going to use Wave, because they're already used to something, and often some people won't try new things because they like what they already have. Me myself personally will try it out upon release, but I will most likely stick to email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinoking Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 The way I look at it, is that I no longer have to go to different sites to do multiple things. I can email, blog, upload pics/stuff, chat, look for friends events, etc in one place. It will all be in Google Wave. And those robots, especially that translator "robot" Rosey, is full of pure win.

Thorstian Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 This seems amazing! Does anyone have any invites for it?Just from that 8 minute video I was very impressed with what this should be able to do, can't wait to explore it for myself :) (Signature Work in Progress) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guano3 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 i dont like it. i like to go to the actual sites to do stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I got an invite to use it from a friend and it is interesting. Not enough people on there to test drive it with but the only problem I have with it is the essentiality that I don't feel like what I type is "safe". I haven't test drived it enough but I did enjoy the seeing what I typed appear in the wave. That was certainly interesting. Overall, I will have a better view on it once more people are using it. Edit: If you are already using Google Wave like me, PM me your contact info for it. Would like to start a possible Tip.it Wave if I knew enough people on it. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkofDeath Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 i dont like it. i like to go to the actual sites to do stuffI don't like going to 20 different sites to do things. Google Wave it is all integrated. When Wave is released to the general public, the other forty or so sites I visit to do 'things' will have something integrated to Wave, so I'll just need to open Wave and I complete all my social networking or other work, without having to load pages, or go through bookmarks or whatever. It's much more efficient and in some cases it has proven to be better than the UI or process in which you would do it on the actual sites. *Cough* Facebook*Cough*. For business though, this will be an amazing piece of technology for them to use. Is definitely where the web is going to go. And sorry guys, already used my 10 free handouts. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSBDavid Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I can see it being useful for runescape related things such as organizing clan trips and crap. Tip.it could use it too.wave.tip.it seems catchy. I sent in an application for Google Wave testing. I hope I get to try it out!

Shiny Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I got invited. Liked what I saw. The interface was nice, and i'm keen to open up Wave and do everything at once. That's what put me off. Going to twenty different sites, like twitter, facebook and the like. Everything is nice and contained. Def. be using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furah Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I got an invite this morning, rather confusing so far, but I'm willing to give it a try. Should get people to put their wave email, so we can get more out of it, as well as getting some more friends. :) Mine's [email protected] Steam | PM me for BBM PIN Nine naked men is a technological achievement.

stevepole Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Found an invite in my hotmail today. I don't use hotmail anymore so I was surprised there was one there among the junk mail. I don't like the long @googlewave.com domain name. It's very tacky if you ask me. It should of been @wave.com or something simpler. I'm kinda confused to what Wave is though, is it just like a new "email" system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wongtong Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I think it's a combination between instant messaging and email. I don't really like it as much as MSN though, especially since the person can see what you're typing as you type it. Also because it's slower and I don't really see the point. Oh yeah, you can edit what people said so.. I dunno, maybe I should watch the demonstration again. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
