11:10 - i really dont like that live typing feature.

he said you spend half you time watching the other person typing in an IM before you actually get to see what they typed.

i rework my messages and backtrack all the time. and what i originally started typing isnt what i finally send. for various reasons, like it sounding too meanm or being innappropriate or being irrelavant etc.

i really hope a user can opt to not send live typing to other people. otherwise thats an app killer for me and i will have no interest in this product.

theres a reason email is still so popular after 40 years. ITS SIMPLE!!! just like text and IM. threading conversations will be too complicated for the average internet user.

edit: apparently you can block live transmission. cool. but i still think it will be too complicated for the average user over email.

I'm the same way. I read and reread what I've written. That's why I prefer good old email, because it's excusable to take a fair amount of time with responses. Gives you time to think.

That and I guess I'm old-fashioned in liking the slightly more formal emails where you greet the addressee by name and sometimes sign it. I like polite and professional.

No. ... It's just more of Google trying to take over the world anyway, why would anyone want that?

Isn't there enough huge coporate entities as it is? The socialistic stylings of the big business system has killed the American Dream and is making it tougher and tougher for small businesses to stay alive. Why don't they give that bail-out money to people who actually deserve it? Why not spread it around to the smaller business owners? Small business with friendly, personable, real people, was once the backbone of the American economy, but now it's just a mess of huge entities and alot of fake jerk pretenders trying to gain folks confidence then rob them blind when they aren't looking. You know all those CEO's of the companies who got the corporate bailouts got huge bonus checks right after? Stuffing money into the pockets of the few is NOT the way to stimulate the economy!

I use the search engine cause it's convenient, but I'm not going to go out of my way to buy their crap just because it's Google.
If it wasn't for Microsoft having an almost total monopoly on the computing world, I could probably be using better, faster, safer, software that never crashes made by a smaller company. The internet would probably work well with every company's software because there would be a set of standards and regulations to which all software made by any of the companies (including Microsoft) would be forced to comply with.
Competition is a good thing for the consumer and the economy, and they all keep on trying to kill it for the sake of greed.

The thing is, Google doesn't just do this stuff for itself. Wave isn't just a service, it's a protocol. A protocol that anybody can use (Microsoft, Apple or whoever). If anything it would help small businesses as they can easily incorporate Wave into their existing systems (so it doesn't just have to work how Google have shown).

And buy their crap? Pretty much everything Google Wave provides is free as far as I am aware - they even provide an API so you can develop upon it however you want. In my opinion the stuff Google does is a breath of fresh air compared to how Microsoft have been doing things for the last 20 years.

I'm not interested in the actual Google product itself, but I am more interested in the Wave protocol. The email protocol was invented so many years ago and really has many limitations and disadvantages because of the way we use the internet today. The Wave protocol basically improves upon all of these, while providing the same function that the email protocol provides. It doesn't mean that future email is going to be owned by Google - any company can use this protocol.

I dunno.. Google Chrome has something like that.. it works great for me every time.

Today I was invited to Google Wave. I invited four other people, and I have four invites left. I imagine that I could give out one or two more, then I'll need to save the last two. One to give to any of my real friends I forgot, and one to have just in case.

Waves are pretty different from email. It's sort of like a forum thread and each post is a separate document, but they have some pretty good formatting like web pages. Anyone can edit any part at any time, add parts, remove parts. You can embed videos and attach files and stuff, play sudoku, ping people. You can pull whoever into a wave (provided they have a Wave account) and everyone can edit the same thing in real time. It'd be handy for things like collaborating on a game because it's more sophisticated than the average chat, as you can do all sorts of formatting and attach things and such.

So, anyone want this invite?
