I believe it was sometime around July when I registered for a developer beta test. I got the email last night and am playing in it now, I will be writing a full review shortly as I dig down into it. First impressions though is that I like it! Anyone else in and want to test/play?
I have 20 invites, but need to get my business people in there first, after I do that I will toss out invites
ca someone please tell me what google wave is. I keep hearing about it but i have no idea what that is.
Sure thing, google wave at its core is a constant collaboration tool. Meaning you start a "wave" which can contain all sorts of things from files to links. Every person who is part of your wave can see, edit, and add in realtime to your wave. one use for this would be, say you are part of company a I create a wave for company a, you are part of my wave, together within that was we can build a document, which we can both edit on the fly, and collaborate adding elements(blips) to our document. At any time we can go back and see who change exactly what. Now lets say company a hires a new employee who needs to be apart of this process, we simply drag him into our wave for company a and he can see the entire history of the document and who changed what (you can actually watch a playback of the entire thing. You can have "wavelets", or sub waves essentially, that can be private, public, etc. This is just one of the many things you can do on wave (i'm just digging into it ). Hope that helps!
i'm actually going to be installing wave on a website later tonight to see how easy it is to integrate, etc. I will post a link and review for it later
I like it so far, although I haven't spent too much time playing with it... I started a public wave last night called waving at digitalpoint, if you search "withublic waving at digitalpoint" (without quotes) you should find it and be able to participate. Everything you needed to know about Google wave can be found in this complete and comprehensive wave guide authored by the founding editor of Lifehacker.com Gina Trapani Cheers James
Just to add to this from Google Wave API documentation " Wavelets serve as the container for one or more messages, known as blips". Looking forward to more reviews actually as I am a developer and started a wave forum!
I'm waiting for an invite - it looks awesome, let us all know how it plays, until then, I'll just sit here waiting for my invite
I just read ShadyStudent's forum (above post) and I found out you can have a look at pygowave if you are really desperate! This thread explains it on his Google Wave Forum.
I still don't get any invites from the developer of google wave. I already sign up on google wave but no invites at all.
