Google wave - it deserves so much more hype.

[Fehm]

Omg, I cant wait

[N!ck]

Yeah, I watched the whole vodeo the day it was out. It will be awesome just like everything else Google makes.

Yea, that video was just epic though, every bit outdid the one before it, and the starting standard was way above whats out there on the net now.

I honestly believe the claim that wave will change the Internet very dramatically for the better... Just finished the video the context sensitive spellchecker and live translation features blew my socks off :p

I don't like it - it seems to complicated, and unnecessary.

I take it you didn't watch any of the clip, as its probably simpler than the average IM client, forum or email app to use, which is part of the genius of the design. You drag and drop photos, you write where you want, in-line. Whats hard?

[efq]

Yeah, it will be used widely and it is a great for businesses too because as described you could send messages to them, meetings, send messages to specific staff, show photo albums and stuff.

That was just WOW
I honestly didn't expect that, seriously, Your right because I cant actually put that video into words, you just need to watch all 1 hour and 20 minutes of it to really understand.

Only gripe: I know that google want this to be as big as e-mail but I still don't like the idea of creating different clients to use the wave :< I would be happy for clients that can implement GOOGLE wave into them but I think it should be kept as a google product. Maybe like uhm Yahoo Email... Now with Google Wave functionality perhaps? But not Yahoo Wave. I guess I like the idea of it being a product that google made rather than a concept that google made. Facebook has shown us that you dont need to go cross client to make a social networking application that will be used widely.

But still, WOW this thing is amazing, its like IM on speed.

Role Play Time:
Hey guys, look at this youtube video!
*pastes in link, right clicks and sets to play the video*
*Video plays INSIDE the conversation to all people viewing*

That feature alone will completely change instant messaging! Make it so much more lively and fast paced!

Way ahead of you Elliott, it's being developed as a protocol so in the future other clients can use the Google Wave, much like anyone can create an email client.

I love it but I honestly don't see it as that useful, most of my friends are on Facebook and MSN so that's where I do my instant messaging and Gmail is already good for emailing.
