Google Wave

[Jeremy D. Scott]

I haven't watched the whole thing, but has anyone watched the intro video for Google Wave yet? Incredible. Does this really have the potential to replace general e-mail, SMS, instant messaging, and even forums like Naznet? I wonder if it would even at some point push Orkut past Facebook. Hard to believe...

It does seem like it will really streamline online communication.

I liked what I saw.

I saw this in the midst of going through a whole bunch of emails and rewrites with some promotional matierials and thought it would be great. Then I thought about how it would have been great for some group projects when I was in school. I am looking forward to it.

I didn't watch the whole thing either, but I watched enough for me to put in a request for an invite.

I'll confess, it even interests me. But not enough to create a Google account. that Playback feature looks pretty sweet though.

At Jeremy's request I thought I might share a few things after receiving a Google Wave invite last night...

First impressions:

It's a collaboration tool for sure. (The problem is that I don't know enough people that have Google Wave accounts to actually do any valuable collaboration.)

I can invite.

However, the invitations are not sent immediately, unfortunately. So those I invite get added to a queue. I'm not sure if they are given priority over those requesting access from the Google Wave login page or not.

Honestly, it's not really ready for a huge onslaught of people, I don't think. It's been pretty flaky today.

It does not integrate with Google Mail, Chat or Voice. The only integration is with Contacts.

A Wave is like a conversation thread in Gmail in real time The playback is cool. You can upload files, reply to other people comment -- even edit other people's posts.

Here's a Jing screencast I did so you can sorta see how it works. It's 19.6 MB.

(you can open the .SWF in your browser or use VLC player to view it.

Thanks to a Naznetter, I got into Google Wave last week. I just now got a limited number of invites. I'm not sure how much interest there will be, but e-mail me with your Google ID and I can send an invite to a few.

E-mail me at JeremyDavidScott{{AT}}gmail[[DOT]]com.

I just sent you my google info. Thanks, Jeremy!

Which reminds me: I have three Google Voice invites I can give.

I think I have one more of those too.
