I mean, as an end user it's not that big. Email is fine for me as far as that goes, but from the perspective of someone that has to deal with projects using up to 4 or 5 freelancers and a client at the same time.. It would be a godsend. It would basically replace our basecamp/im/chat network we're having to set up now. 34701 Post 2009-05-31T20:21:39-04:00 995881 997 2009-05-31T20:21:39-04:00 holy crap is has live typing just like an IM App but better. Most IM apps it just says "blank is typing" for two minutes, then you see the message. This shows character by character what the other person is saying in real time. And this is in a web app using some kind of email protocol I believe. I love Google, I don't even care that they knew everything about me. *Edit* Plus this is open source and free. Base Camp better step their game up with tons of features to justify people purchasing their product instead of using an open source solution like Google Wave. If Wave turns out as good as they say it will. I am still watching the video, only 20 minutes in. 34701 Post 2009-05-31T20:27:23-04:00 995901 6600 2009-05-31T20:29:49-04:00 yeah, it looks pretty awesome. i think it will melt some faces when it gets released. 34701 Post 2009-05-31T20:40:50-04:00 996021 881 2009-05-31T20:40:50-04:00 Why did they use YouTube instead of Google Video?

Where it shows each character someone is typing. 34701 Post 2009-05-31T21:38:59-04:00 996841 1698 2009-05-31T21:38:59-04:00 Looking forward to the future of google, I already use chrome it is much faster than any other browser, although it has a few bugs, but nothing to make me stop using it.

Plus it's going to take some time to get used to chating like that in e-mail, I can just emagine a inbox full of book long emails, I hate it already, don't send me a wave or I will hit you. Say no to book long emails. Fuck you google. I would much rather see google whore, an app that instantly shows me pictures of sharks, wolves, and open mouth gorillas I can trace. I don't know I might like it. Don't add my email to your blog either assholes. Those noods are for your eyes only. 34701 Post 2009-06-01T02:10:17-04:00 1001501 506 2009-06-01T02:11:29-04:00 this should be better than the conversations gmail forced up my ass. I got used to those, so i really don't see what the big deal is with accommodating oneself. Also, i bet in 3 months yahoo pulls yahoo mail 2 or something, to be able to do the same thing..they a;ready copied the way in which gmail allows AIM chats, now you have yahoo messanger in your mail. 34701 Post 2009-06-01T04:55:42-04:00 1002321 3643 2009-06-01T04:55:42-04:00 Man I can't turn around without bumping my elbow into this wave thing. It better be the ultimate one-stop shop where everything can plug into. And it better be psychic and remembers all my password without any possibility of leakage. And it better make soup on demand. 34701 Post 2009-06-01T05:33:30-04:00 1002441 10580 2009-06-01T05:33:30-04:00 I'm bumping this to see if anybody is on it.

So the user requests an invite to be sent out, and then Google reviews it. some people get their invites, some don't, but either way, they usually take a few days to come in. whenever I get some invites, I'd be willing to trade them away for a what.cd or waffles.fm account, or whatever else anyone wants to give out, haha. 34701 Post 2009-10-16T11:51:54-04:00 2878921 6179 2009-10-16T11:51:54-04:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtPaT0kBjPk 34701 Post 2009-10-17T17:37:36-04:00 2888811 506 2009-10-17T17:37:36-04:00 <blockquote><cite>quakerninja said:</cite> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtPaT0kBjPk</blockquote> !!! so awesome 34701 Post 2009-10-17T17:43:23-04:00 2888841 10233 2009-10-17T17:43:23-04:00 I wouldn't mind an invite either.

It was actually really useful to have the other day for a discussion between three people. There's definitely some great features including a playback feature which might be convenient if there's a lengthy wave and a new person is invited into the conversation (since you can make edits to people's comments besides your own). Right now it feels like Wave is geared more towards business groups and web geeks, but I can see it becoming a good social networking tool too. It's weird because if you're on there at the same time as your buddies, you can see them typing in real time. That means they can see all the mistakes I make (including Freudian slips!) as I'm typing :-/ 34701 Post 2009-10-17T23:27:40-04:00 2891391 7761 2009-10-17T23:27:40-04:00 I've been playing around with it, I got an invite. It's simply awesome. It's like a to-do list, collaboration center, e-mail, wiki, all in one. Simply amazing. The only thing bad is that you will have to invite people to Google Wave for them to start using it, it's not going to be quite as easy to get computer illiterate clients to start using it right away. 34701 Post 2009-10-18T13:28:23-04:00 2895211 77431 2009-10-18T13:28:23-04:00 if anyone wants an invite mail me at ste.tpe@gmail.com 34701 Post 2009-10-24T20:53:05-04:00 2981281 5999 2009-10-24T20:53:05-04:00
