Google Wave Developer Preview at Google I/O 2009

That's probably the most blatant example of FUD in internet history. Jumping to conclusions while remaining blissfully ignorant to the actual implementation. Until we get access to the sandbox, you should draw your own conclusions by watching the keynote: [VIDEO]

I'm surprised nobody has compared this to google's wave yet. If you haven't, you should go check out the demo -- I'm not for sure yet how much feature overlap there is, but their demo exhibits a wow factor that is undeniable. It's long, but skip around and you're sure to hit on at least some of the important bits: [VIDEO]

For me it was Google Wave. The presentation[1] got me very excited and I couldn't wait to start using it. I signed up for the beta and told everyone I work with to do so as well. It quickly became an invaluable tool for me, I couldn't imagine what I'd do without it. And then, a year after it was introduced, only 3 months after it was released to the general public, Google announced Wave was dead. [1] [VIDEO]

Here's one of my favorites, of Lars doing the Wave dance on stage to ad-lib over connectivity hiccups. For some reason it evoked a lot more empathy from me... [VIDEO]

Hello, I have a question. Does anybody know about javascript rich text / HTML editor, that could easily show small popup under carret (or certain word) while the user is typing? I mean something like the spell-checker in this google wave demonstration - see at 0:44:40 [VIDEO] Or lets say, you want to implement something like this [LINK] but in web browser. How would you go about it?

Wave was built on XMPP wasn't it? If I understand correctly XMPP is fully extensible which means Google can add whatever data they want and still be inter-operable with all the common parts and then define the new parts. Video seems like it could be out of band using WebRTC and initiated by new XMPP data. Watching the Wave introduction presentation from Google I/O 2009 it's hard to buy that a new protocol was needed.

I remember watching the Google Wave Developer Preview at Google I/O in 2009! [VIDEO] I agree that the invite only really slowed it down.

git clone [LINK] git clone [LINK] git clone [LINK] Does it even build? Wave is one of those things that everyone raves about but has never used. [LINK] [VIDEO]
