Google Wave Starts to Open to Public on September 30th
Jul 22nd
According to the Official Google Wave Developer Blog, they’ll be extending 100,000 invites to regular old users on September 30th. Google launched Google Wave at its Google IO conference at the end of May, but so far the Web giant has restricted the service to 6,000 or so developers.
Google Wave is a unique hybrid of email, chat, and a blog, and some expect it to eventually replace some of Google’s other applications. No word yet on how invites will be handled or who will be getting them.
Google Wave makes a splash
May 29th
Google announced today a new, experimental idea aiming to reshape the future of communication on the web. It’s called Wave, and if you believe its Google, it’s “what email would look like if it were invented today.” Oh ya… and the whole thing is Open Source; the protocols will be available to anyone. Wave is about jazzing up real-time communication on the web.
What is a wave?
A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.
According to Google Wave will allow:
- Real-time collaboration – Concurrency control technology lets all people on a wave edit rich media at the same time
- Natural language tools – Server-based models provide contextual suggestions and spelling correction
- Extensible – Embed waves in other sites or add live social gadgets, thanks to Google Wave APIs.
If you have an hour and twenty minutes to burn you can watch the entire thing explained by the folks at Google.
