Will Wave Collapse?Google Wave = next Google Mail

orGoogle Wave = next Google Knol

orGoogle Wave = next Google Orkut

Direction the wind is blowing?Google Wave the web appGoogle Wave the protocol

Enabling applications to be collaboration-aware

Google Wave as HTML 5 pathfinderAnd HTML 5 driver (e.g. Google Chrome)

Message in a bottleExplicitly described as reinvention of

email

Google Wave as tool to solve internal Google communication challenges, based on data from Gmail & Gchat – from the Google Maps developers

Remember: engineers like efficiencyBut also remember: inventors don’t

necessarily know what they’ve invented… trying to see what the uses are and testing the limits of the system

Treasure Beneath the WaveIdeas from Google (Lars):

Ads“almost certainly” add Wave to Enterprise

bundleAPIs

The following is my wild speculation:

Google Wave as part of the Enterprise offer?Undersea ecosystem? (Wave apps store.)

First and Second Wave1st round = 100,000 who each got 8 invites2nd round therefore = 800,000 who currently

No Overlapping WavesDeveloper’s Sandbox = WaveSandbox.com

“Please keep in mind that WaveSandbox.com does not currently interoperate with users on wave.google.com”

Separate form to request a developer account.Preview = wave.google.com (pre-beta)

“much much more demand than capacity right now” - @twephanie, October 14, 2009

Their major major focus is scalability and stability.

Some of the features demoed in the sandbox are NOT available in the preview.

TerminologyWave = an entire discussionWavelet = subsection of a discussionBlip = individual “post”Extensions:

Robot = software that can join as a “member” of a wave and act upon the wave’s contents (e.g. Rosy Etta translator bot)

Gadget = “plug in” that you can add to a particular blip (e.g. Google Maps extension) – a further development of existing Google Gadgets
