"Ooops they did it again! No, not the Britney Spears fan club! Google did it again...stealing Microsoft's thunder by rolling out Wave, their new communications and collaborative during the same week Microsoft debuted Bing, its new . Google Wave is what email would be like if it were on steroids! It is a little of everything all mashed up into one big giant framework. Wave is part email, IM, calendar, Twitter, wiki, spreadsheets/docs/presentation, picture sharing, social media, forums, maps and just about everything else on the web, but the kitchen sink!"

Kol, i sent u video link that day of Wave demo. Saw it?
- Roshan Ramachandran
The long video? Yep, thank you, eventually got to see it.. Really eager to try it now though.
- Kol Tregaskes
This is a serious game changer for a lot of reasons. FriendFeed is very uniquely positioned to take advantage of this, as are the OMB servers (identi.ca etc). The implications for search are huge.

maybe its time for microsoft to throw in the towel, Google are simply streets (or waves) ahead in everything they do
- Neil Ashworth
I've said for some time that microsoft has fallen too far behind in the software market. They aren't the innovators anymore and need to embrace the path that they started on when they started buying into media companies. Google has the upper hand in software and they continually beat Microsoft at the marketing game. Microsoft should have realized long ago the power of giving away software in order to control the nature of the user's experience. Google has that control now.

Google will search their translation memory for previous, human translations of the uploaded segment and show the translations in the Search Results tab. Color-coded segments will depict ‘exact’ matches and ‘partial’ matches, so you can edit the text based on the memory as well as previous, human translations. In addition, you can use the computer-generated translation in the Computer Translation tab to jump-start the translation of your current segment. When available, the toolkit will also search Google’s multilingual glossaries to help you translate specific terminology for your language, or you could use the Dictionary tab to do custom searches on Google’s multilingual dictionaries. Besides the self-learning ability of the toolkit, the service also makes it incredibly easy for people to collaborate on translations, bringing a human, crowd-sourced touch to the automated process of Google’s Translate service.

"But a few days of positive headlines and friendly nods cannot a market share leader make." - I think, after only a few days, positive headlines and friendly nods are all you can hope for. I think this statement sounds clever but is amazingly obvious.

"When you log in to Tweetree with your Twitter credentials, you’ll see your normal Twitter stream, but whenever anyone shares a link, Tweetree goes out and grabs the content on that page via its RSS feed and places it right in your stream. Long articles are placed in a frame that can be scrolled through. This is a seamless way to read a ton of content without having to leave your Twitter stream."

Hey Louis - wrote up my thoughts about this on my blog: http://tins.rklau.com/2009... Short version: I think that we're addressing different issues, not really solving the same problem. And Lijit's stats and content networks are pretty slick.
- Rick Klau
Rick, I will look again. Micah didn't like my approach either. Hmmm.

"FriendFeed would simply be a quiet network featuring a mess of links and no interaction if it were not for the "Friend" portion of the service's name. With hundreds of thousands of known users, it can be hard for some to break through and become visible, beyond bringing a brand name from previous activity. But, with participation, many do, and we are more than eager to highlight them in this monthly feature, our ninth. As always, we strive to not miss anyone, so if you believe you or others should be included, you know how to reach us - in the comments, via e-mail, and of course, on FriendFeed."

Holy Shit! I dont think anyone saw that coming. This beats the Magics beating Cavs by miles. Man that was awesome to watch. Also noticed how Ana Ivanvic lost and no one seems to care. Women's tennis just keeps going downhill.

Bing might be quite good. But MS don't have the marketing strategy right. This sums up one big part of it a lot ore eloquently than I could.

This has to be one of the lamest practices I've seen. I'm not sure which is worse, offering to pay you for a good review, of this. This seems more underhanded.

I've been offered money to review something before. In the end I spent so long thinking about whether or not it was a good idea that I missed the deadline for it. My idea was, rather than spam up my regular blog feed at 14sandwiches with a sponsored post, I'd create a separate page on my blog for the (clearly marked) advertorial. That way people can read it if they like without having it forced on them. Does that seem like a good solution? I'd certainly never go down the Diggs route - very underhand.

Hang on, sending a message in Firefly was called sending a wave!
- Glenn Slaven
I think it effectively evokes the concept of rich flows of information.
- Daniel Shaw
No idea what inspired it, but here's my interpretation - communication is like a Mexican wave - one person starts, others join in, and the wave moves from person to person and back again.
- Elpie
Yeah, that's a good podcast if you're a Browncoat
- Glenn Slaven
What would be nice is if it could automatically highlight the good stuff and make big waves of the stuff that deserves to be spread around, not having to necessarily build huge blog/twitter followers over months and years of melding into that type of web communities to have a voice and to be heard
- Charbax
Because the waves are above the (fail) whales?
- Andy Murdoch
Glenn, the Wave folks would be the final word, so you'd have to ask them for confirmation. But it seems like a fair question to ask the team.

WAVE =? Wiki Api Visualization Extensions

From the novel "The Wave" about the rise of nazi-like movement.

Just be thankful it's not Microsoft's Squirt...

I'm assuming its because it includes all forms of web communication. "Classical" communication has been attributed to EM waves... probably a weak guess, but what the hell, I guessed.
- Len Estrada
Natural especially with the stream being a popular term, I want them to rename bugs to sharks :)
- Joe Dawson
@Johnny Worthington: That's even funnier if I imagine you saying it with your Aussie twang.
- Martin Bryant
The messages that bounce between participants in the conversation can be seen as a wave bouncing between walls. When this conversation involves more people, there's more interaction and more synergy, the wave may turn into a tsunami (hm... of enjoyment and creativity), which I guess is what Google Wave team hopes to facilitate.
- Nenad Nikolic
It was intended to create a ripple effect throughout the industry and hence the name wave. Or it might suggest that it was supposed to wash away BING!
- Saurav Verma
I agree with Glenn :-). If its not a salute to Firefly, it should be!
- grgisme
I don't know where the name came from, but I think the name fits it perfectly.
- Ocean
Well you can't go surfing until you've got a good wave - Aussie beaches got those. -[
- Chris Loft
I would bet it's a particle physics implicate order type reference.
- Todd Hoff
Well it's already come crashing down on Microsoft's Bing announcement. Fitting.
- Michelle Tripp
I guess because calling it "The Dog's B*ll*cks" didn't sit well with the Marketing guys..? :-)

"Hey! Why don't we give our product a NAME this time? Instead of like Calendar, GMail, and MAPS", "I dunno...", "It worked well for Chrome", "Sure I guess."

Google tells me "We liked how the word is associated with communication in so many ways -- from hand waves, to sound or electromagnetic waves. Waves also symbolized Australia for us. And, of course, who could resist the endless supply of puns?"
- Philipp Lenssen
Alrighty then--glad you asked, Philipp. Glenn Slaven, I was watching the video of the demo and I noticed that Stephanie Hannon did a poll of people's favorite movies and she included Serenity in the list, along with Star Trek and Star Wars. I thought including Serenity was pretty cool.

Surfing the web ... riding the wave?
- Sajid Umerji
Say hi to your friends by Waving, they wave in planes, you ride a wave to bring you into shore, business is in waves, sound travels in waves umm sounds like they are wishing WAVE's of people upon their service
- JuneM

- Tinfoil 2.0
A few guesses: 1) They really like going to the beach. 2) Waving is a gesture, 3) A wave is also representative of a stream - of data, of sound, of whatever.
