Google Wave: Five Things You Must Know
Google Wave: What It Is And How It Works
another one that's been making the rounds. It basically brings together email, instant messaging, document sharing, and blogging all into one package with a gmail-like interface.

It will be interesting to see if this catches on. It seems like Google has invested quite a bit in it. It could be a game changer, IMO.

It could be a game changer, IMO.
While the "Google Wave" preview has some pretty neat eye-candy, the things that make it all possible are the new Google Wave Federation Protocol and the Google Wave API. I like to think of them as fixing everything that was wrong with the SMTP, POP, and IMAP (eg - email) protocols. It's the primitives provided by these protocols that make all the neat things built on top of them possible.
This really could be a huge game changer.
I was reading a bit about this last night, but I haven't gotten into the details yet. I did a paper the other year (which unfortunately never got published 
) on the need to update email protocols to stop spam; it'll be interesting to see what approach Google took.

Has anyone watched the demo video? Wow! I like what Wave can do. Absolutely fantastic. If you have the time, watch the entire video (1hr 20min). http://wave.google.com/

Yikes! Who has time for that?
Wait, I'm at work. Maybe I do!
I'm going to have to look into this, I read about it and I still can't figure it out.

I left the video going a week or so ago on a 2nd computer on my desk. It is a long video, but very interesting and exciting.

Google to Launch Google Wave Public Beta in Sept.

by Mark Hachman
Google will open its Google Wave service up to the public beginning on on Sept. 30, the company said this week.
Google launched Google Wave at its Google IO conference at the end of May, but so far the Web giant has restricted the service to 6,000 or so developers, Dan Peterson, a product manager for Google Wave, wrote on the company's blog. Now, 100,000 members of the public will be invited to try out the service.
Google Wave is a unique hybrid of email, chat, and a blog, and some expect it to eventually replace some of Google's other applications.
"In other news: this morning we announced that we plan to start extending the Google Wave preview beyond developers on September 30th. This will take place on wave.google.com rather than the separate "sandbox" instance we are currently using, and we plan to involve about 100,000 users," Peterson wrote. "In addition to the developers already using Wave, we will invite groups of users from the hundreds of thousands who offered to help report bugs when they signed up on wave.google.com."
Google did not say how invitations would be handled.
Google is currently working on the "speed, stability, and usability of Google Wave," Peterson wrote.

Google started giving out invites yesterday. Anyone get an invite? I didn't.
Haven't seen mine either.

Nothing here either. Guess we will have to beg others for one of their 8 invites.

I signed up a second time. I hope that doesn't hurt my chances.

Got an invite today. Accepted it. Haven't had time to check it out today - probably won't have time until the weekend.
I got an invite too. I logged in, but that's about as far as I got with it.
