Google Wave

[Mstealth]

I think no one is using it.

Should've been auto-closed

Wave was discontinued by Google. There are plans to make it an Apache project. All this can be easily found by using certain famous search engine.

Didn't you notice the last post was in 2009? Don't revive dead threads.

I don't think there is, since everything works with JavaScript/Ajax/HTML5. The only thing which is not possible without plugins, is Drag&Drop.

I also think so.

So i will usually end up using google as a spellchecker. People gunna be waiting a while as i stop and go.

stop


and go.

Actually, there's a real time spell checker which is super. It not only suggest misspelled words, but it can suggest some syntax corrections

Example: if you type he come home, you'll see come underlined.. then you right click on it and a combo appears, showing comes as an alternative. Notice that usually spell-checkers don't perform this kind of suggestions!

Do I like it? Well, uh yeah.. it's funny that you can see other people typing in real time, but you might guess what they're about to say and you start a reply post before they hit the DONE button. So the communication becomes a rush of people racing their reply one another. Mess, stressfull , funny ... (time sparing?!??)

see thats no good for me. After a few rounds of the bowl, generally speaking, i cant spell a damn thing. So i will usually end up using google as a spellchecker. People gunna be waiting a while as i stop and go.

So basically, google have "invented" a new form of instant messaging?

Allow me to sell you a nice shiney simultaneous audio messaging system...

Well, think of it as a hybrid among

• Instant Messaging
• GMail
• a shared dashboard (FB wall to be more precise)

All in real time, and strongly historicized if you want to use it with participants not all present at the same time.

It's an interesting experiment. By now the major downside is that if you have 2+ participant online at the same time, they end-up in a totally unstructured form of communication (aka total chaos, with people responding to previous post in the wave and adding contents in any part, not necessarily appending them at the end!).
But it could serve well for brainstorming for instance!

True

the service is snappier in the last days, maybe after an overload for all the people trying it in the first hours.
They're adding little improvements, but still the site is so far from being mature. I think they're working hard in the under the hood protocol part, because the features are even thinner than those of the first gmail editor!!!!

But, you know what?
I have new friends made in the beta tester community. I have their email and their Gtalk... but I by far prefer to communicate with them in GW
Is it addictive? no, I can quit whenever I decide to

Google wave sure looks interesting. You mentioned it works well on both Ubuntu and win7. Is there any noticeable differences?
