Do I want one? If any of you think I do then send it out my way. I'm so clueless that I don't even know if I wanna be on the playground to be picked to be on your dodgeball team! But don't beam it at my head if'n you do pick me last and all, m'k!? xoxo
Hey all - if any one of you still have an extra google wave invite, would love it if you'd forward one to dhuey toolshed biz. I've been trying to get one for awhile now, finally found someone at Google who tried to send me one, but it didn't work.
K. 8 left. got noiseporn. dhuman if you want one, please post your email.
[everyone who gets an invite please allow like up to 5 days? to receive the invite? I don't know how fast they are coming now..but last time I gave em away it took between 3-5 days before everyone was receiving them]
Yes dhunman. Sorry i usually tell everyone when I send them it can take 3-5 days...some people have been getting it THAT day lately. Please be patient..if you don't receive it within 5 days i'll try another email address..
Question..just throwing it out there...when do you think Google Wave will become useful? Almost everything I can do on it...I prefer doing elsewhere...like typing live with a person..we had a back n forth and then eventually one of us was like wait..we can talk on aim?
- I also now have developed a paranoia that people are watching as a type.
ME TOO!!! i'm convinced you can see me type, everywhere! ha
but i'm also convinced that eventually it is going to replace my local music calendar because bands will be constantly updating their local music wave with set times, gigs, etc. And they'll be finding other bands to play with and venues. It will make promoters jobs easier and also give touring bands a much easier time of booking their shows (the small indie bands that tour and try to set up shows on their own). I think it has huge potential for this because it can be changed so rapidly and augmented with calendars, music files, maps, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if google made a big push to have google wave become a part of its core application suite, underneath it all. It wouldn't actually change your current working environment, but it would easily extend gmail, docs, chat, and others for collaboration. Also the fact that the wave protocols are open source I wouldn't be surprised to see other major online entities following the lead and integrating the same underpinnings onto their systems (hotmail, facebook, etc.). The same thing happened with chrome, google put it out there open source to push the market in the direction it thought it should go, and now firefox and others are integrating similar frameworks and features.
Major thing you have to remember is we are on the bleeding edge of a system that has no apparent connections to anything else yet. I think google has been planning wave for a long time now and its real purpose is to actually bring all of its fledgling applications under one 'umbrella'. If you think about it google is simultaneously undermining just about every online social protocol that exists (normally called websites, but they are really protocols of social communication).
That's my what I would do if I were google anyway.
Also, the live typing had an 'on/off' switch in the first 2 hour demo video way back when, I am sure it will show up in the system when it is ready.
Also, I have 2 more invites if anyone is still interested.
Squashed that is no paranoia once anything enter the interweb space it is free game...emails especially. I've actually heard that being said from several well educated professors...not the old paranoid type that rant and rabble about the CIA bugging their house...normal ever day teachers that know whats up. Besides....if you've ever been in London, england etc and seen their large number of cameras everywhere...anything else doesn't at all appear too far-fetched.
And I also remember the on/off button for the live type..i just rather enjoy it as much as I fear it. :-) thank you bryon.
