Guys, please read the title and the first comment. This is not a request for invites. This is for users who already have an account and want to share their account name. For invites see this thread: http://ff.im/91M9R
- Kol Tregaskes
My Wave ID is erier2003@googlewave.com. Feel free to add me and we can Wave!
- Eric Geller
Still don't really know what this is (Or Google Voice for that matter). This is like high school all over again. The cool kids are ignoring me!
- James Ferguson
i'm with the google wave woudl be really cool, if i had people to wave at crowd. jviddy@googlewave.com
- Jamie Vidamour
Everyone, read the title and first comment. This is NOT an invite thread!
- Kol Tregaskes
my plan didn't work. still trolling for an invite at dzinrgeek@gmail.com
- amarquart
Blimey. I must be going mad, is it not clear that this is NOT an invite thread. For invites see here: http://ff.im/91M9R
- Kol Tregaskes
Not sure if anyone else woudl find it useful, i'm going to add a load of you as friends and create a wave just to try stuff out in. Feel free to remove yourself from the wave or use it as you feel. Also feel free to add anyone else you think might want to be in on it
- Jamie Vidamour
Shockingly, I am robdiana@googlewave.com

Kamilah, you are kamilah.gill. You can find this if you click on yourself in the Contacts sidebar. You address (like everyone) is shown there.
- Kol Tregaskes
Karoli: is that your google wave nick or are you sniffling? :)
- Ahsan Ali
I'm sniffling because I don't have a google wave nick. Despite two invites, there is still nothing in my inbox. I am not in with the in crowd. :(
- Karoli
<- Waves hello! :) I'm at holger.eilhard@googlewave.com
- Holger Eilhard
hello holger, can you pls send me invite? fatihkurtoglu@gmail.com
- mfatih
Invite came today! I'm jalada@googlewave.com. As part of the second/third 'Wave' of people getting invites looks like I don't get any to share out.
- Jalada
M Fatih Kurtoglu: Sorry, I don't yet have any nominations to give out...
- Holger Eilhard
Hey, I'm in too ! :)) tagyboy@googlewave.com

Just got my invite this morning as well. FF embed seems to be working fine. I've tried the Wolfram Alpha robot but didn't get it to work yet.

Glad to see more and more people getting in. What we're waiting for is proper group support (a few weeks hopefully) then let the games begin! :-D

- JR
Hard to write this without coming off all FriendFeed Fanboi… but… ‘Because “EVERYONE” else is using it’ wasn’t good enough to make me love Twitter, why should it be for anything else? When “EVERYONE” = people I care about + lack of access on existing services, then I’ll jump. With Google Buzz, I might have another look at [...]
- Johnny
I woke up with the realisation that being active in social media is something I choose to do, not something I have to do. I don't make money from it nor do I rely on it to feed my family. I use it to speak to really great people and find info on my topics. I admit I have taken things a bit seriously in the past 6 months. This is suppose to be fun. I'm gonna chill the fuck out and make this 'something' I do, not 'what' I do :D
- Johnny

Oh trust me, skiing involves skill! If they give out points for falling and scuffing half your face off then I think I can get us a decent medal for that though.

go for it. privacy doesn't exist anymore so why bother having the illusion. And at least our screening procedures go from being theater of the pointless to doing something useful.
- Andrew Euell
There's a difference between doing a background check & such and being able to see my pubic hair just because I want to fly to Seattle. This technology goes too far.
- Jeff Harbert
Wow. IRC is so crazy. I think the story of the decade is surely mobile and email. The iPhone's popularity is huge for this. Google too.
- Elliot Christenson
@Jeff cool, so no aggregators really?
- Caleb Elston
@Andrew Do you do much filtering on Digg? Just the tech areas for instance?
- Caleb Elston
Yeah the Tech page is set as my starting point.
- Andrew
@Caleb, No, I don't like aggregators. Even for blogs, things like Google Reader and Bloglines annoy me.
- Jeff Harbert
@Caleb - One exception to that is Popurls. That one's handy.
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff Interesting. Is there something in particular about them you dislike?
- Caleb Elston
Yeah I barely look at Google Reader any more, it's just like a huge inbox you have to crawl through now.
- Andrew
@Caleb - Readers don't give me blog comments, for one. I also find that the look and feel of a website will help me remember where I first read something. Blog themes are also usually stripped out and made homogenous by readers. Don't care for that.
- Jeff Harbert
I've gotten nearly all my breaking news this year from Twitter.
- Jeff Harbert
I learned about Twitter on TWiT. TechTV and it's spawn are one important story of the decade.
- Jason R
Twitter definitely provides most of the news/links that I click on. I prefer the layout/design of Original Signal to Popurls, just a shame it seems to have been abandoned. Only annoyance is no way to turn off the popups when you hover on a link.
- Andrew
"we have some deep integrations coming with a bunch of different players and big announcements coming up" --Kevin Rose on TWiT
- Andrew Euell
anyone know if traffic on digg.com is still growing?
- Mark
I think the fire alarm is starting to beep more frequently...
- Andrew
Story of the decade is REALLY TWIT. I agree with Jason Robertshaw. I learned of Twitter on TWIT.
- Elliot Christenson
My last employer had a floppy-drive Mavica.
- Jeff Harbert
we had a mavica for a trip to vegas with the family. BACKUPS could be a story of the decade. Digital is now practical because of BACKUPS.
- Elliot Christenson
I know Carbonite is a sponsor but I gotta say their product for Mac really sucks. It doesn't backup video automatically! You have to manually select video files to backup. I switched to Backblaze. We should try to get them as a TWiT Sponsor!
- Ken Wiesner
Am I the only one that thinks location services like Foursquare are dumb?
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff hate to disagree, but I think location is actually a core element to be shared. Just like Photos, Video, Text...location is next.
- Caleb Elston
@Caleb - but it's so transitory. So I check in at a bar - I won't be there an hour later.
- Jeff Harbert
People recommend you for the "Crunk" badge. :)
- Ken Wiesner
@Jeff that's true, but tweets are similarly ephemeral, but we now have much better realtime alerting systems so you can actually know about that right away.
- Caleb Elston
@Caleb - And it also does me no good to know where anyone non-local to me is. Scoble is having dinner at the Ritz - I'm across the country, so what use is that to me?
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff, bingo - and if you're in a small town, who cares that you just popped down to the gas station in your pyjamas?
- Andrew
@Jeff that might be true for Robert, since you don't really know him, but if it were your son or brother it might be interesting, a conversation starter for the next time you speak.
- Caleb Elston
@Andrew - Exactly, which is why I think these services are dumb.
- Jeff Harbert
@Caleb - I'm actually acquainted with Robert. It still does me no good to know he's having dinner at the Ritz because he's nowhere near me.
- Jeff Harbert
Pet peeve - that's navigation, not GPS.
- Jeff Harbert
Automatic parallel parking is a joke. If you can't drive, don't drive.
- Jeff Harbert
Fully automated cars would be cool though. Real life savers, since most people don't know how to drive safely.
- Jeff Harbert
Robert's is right Microsoft is just not cool anymore
- Kim Landwehr
I'd still like to have a full computer in my car.
- Jeff Harbert
Doesn't the decade begin in January 1st, 2011?
- Héctor
@Héctor - Leo mentioned that in yesterday's TWiG. He said he'd rather get a little email from correct listeners like you than wait a year and get 10x more from people who think it begins 1-1-10.
- Jeff Harbert
Correct. I remember arguing about it 10 years ago, but this time around I don't feel like nitpicking for that same exact reason. Sounds like a good plan.
- Héctor
I don't like the iPhone. I need a real keyboard.
- Jeff Harbert
Thinking of getting a Droid to replace my Blackberry in Sept when my current cell contract is up for renewal.
- Jeff Harbert
Yeah I'm going to drop my BlackBerry Storm - was such a disappointment.
- Andrew
Please stop thinking that electric cars will 100% replace normal cars.
- Jeff Harbert
And btw, good old lead-acid batteries are just fine for electric cars. We don't need a battery breakthrough.
- Jeff Harbert
Thank goodness for holidays - this is the first time I've been able to watch TWiT live, as it's after midday Monday in NZ. Although luckily TWiG falls on Sunday here. :)
- Andrew
If you think about it most people spend most of their time driving to and from work and around town, a perfect use for electric vehicles
- Kim Landwehr
"earthy crunchy" --Leo Laporte on Kevin Rose
- Andrew Euell
@Kim - Exactly. We don't need 350 mile range. 80 is more than enough for most people.
- Jeff Harbert
you DO WANT Rackspace as a sponsor, trust me
- Mark
Blogs aren't history, they've become enhancements & supplements to videos and tweets.
- Jeff Harbert
I like that comment by Leo - why pigeonhole it? It's all content.
- Jeff Harbert
"tough ass particle" --Leo Laporte on the Higgs Boson
- Andrew Euell
great - I could understand all of the previous video vignette's except the bio-tech one ;)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
....and an overpolluted planet with 15 billion people. Something to look forward to.
- Jeff Harbert
what about a cure for sleep, free of side effects of course
- Andrew Euell
@Andrew - or just make sleep more effective. I'd love to get by on 3-4 hours per night.
- Jeff Harbert
Biggest story of the decade - social media. It changed the societal consciousness.
- echostreamer
it's not Facebook per se, but rather the ability of any company to connect that many people on the internet: Orkut, Twitter, Google Groups, etc
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I noticed on the TWiT youtube channel, Windows Weekly is watched 5-6 times more than the other shows
- Mark
Windows Weekly is 12500+ per show. TWiT the flagship is 2 or 3000
- Mark
The different shows all have different user/viewer profiles for live, re-run, download and now youtube. It's amazing to see the variances
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Whoever did the animated intro for the video, it looks amazing!
- Q-tip
"Barry Schwartz makes a passionate call for "practical wisdom" as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world."

Web enabled TV will arrive soon. Watch internet TV and surf the internet from your easy chair but can the network handle it?

I can confirm that if you have not edited settings in Facebook and log in now it defaults to having your profile and updates publicly visible. http://www.flickr.com/photos...

i guess changing your privacy settings is a good thing then... i had changed my passwords and it kept all my old privacy settings

just shut down the video after the not nice comments and images.

I just took a screen capture of the Facebook privacy settings. This was with my test account that I have used to test the Facebook Connect service, not an account I just created today. http://screenr.com/0vU
- Eric Leone
of course eric if you had just created the account today then it wouldn't have prompted you about the privacy changes
- Chris Heath
Keep your salary. For the work you do and the trail you're blazing, you deserve the salary, donations and more. Facebook = Walmart. Schmit Vader is a good Sith name. Great show
- echostreamer
Actually, commenting when you dont know the whole story is "screwed up." The donations are a way for the Community to buy into and have a part in the Twit network. Similar to a commune or buying a stake in the network. This model actually reduces the amount he takes from the big picture, while still allowing us to take part (donations.) It is obvious these comments are coming out of old...
more...
- echostreamer
bill, you don't have to donate and that's the point. and if you do donate it has nothing to do with the advertising. as a journalist i'm sure you do know the definition of donate, right? it's not a subscription
- Chris Heath
oh, and why did you delete your first comment... i thought it was pretty good
- Chris Heath
I work in big media also. The only difference between you and me is that I know the ships going down and Leo's got the life raft. I sniffed you out as old media, I get credit for that right? This isn't a multinational corporation, the rules are different for advertising, revenue, and donations (not to be confused with subscriptions.) Your rebuttal is a spelling correction.....nice...
more...
- echostreamer
Bill, no need to dream we have that already in TWiT and it's network - get off your high horse and take off your blinders... it's been a long day for all of us.
- Chris Heath
and another thought... wouldn't it be nice if you only paid for a newspaper when you wanted to? they do have all those ads in there that you have to 'endure'.... and how come my copy of the paper has ads in the first place? i pay monthly for it, they shouldn't make me endure all those ads!
- Chris Heath
Twit is all free, you dont have to pay anything. Its completely free to all of us. If you are talking about "print" media, you pay for the product AND have to endure the ads. Thats 2 forms of payment and breaks your "rule." (Im sure whatever print you work for has ads and charges for the paper or mag so you are contradicting your own "rule.") With Twit , there is NO form of payment. I'd...

- echostreamer
echostreamer... don't feed the trolls - this guy is a dunce - don't waste any more of your time
- Chris Heath
I see your point, I just think it is short sited. This isn't a multinational corporation where if one division runs out of cash, you simply siphon it of from somewhere else or reorganize you finances. Private companies are different. The ability to donate is for our benefit. If you have a good suggestion, they'll implement it usually mid-show. You suggest shows, guests, formats,...

- echostreamer
It feels like I'm performing an "Old Media Exorcism" in this thread. "The power of Twit compels you!, The power of Twit compels you! I need an old Geek and a new Geek."
- echostreamer
Heres a thought...LOSE CALACANIS!! Sorry, whether you like a president or not, comparing ANY US President to Stalin or Hitler is unacceptable and you shouldn't tolerate that on your show. Period. I realize 90% of the tech blogging community seems to be on one side of the political spectrum but can we please keep twit about the tech? Please? Please?
- John A Cook
John, wasn't he comparing Schmidt's comments to things that Stalin and Hitler said? I don't recall a US President being brought into that conversation.
- Chris Heath
Also John, one of the beauties of America is our freedom of speech, right?. It sounds like you would rather Leo be more like those dictators and punish Jason for his views.
- Chris Heath
It was definitely about Schmidt's comments that "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you dont have anything to worry about." Calacanis's remarks were about the CEO (president) of google.
- echostreamer
hey look, {empty_string} started a new ad campaign

Seriously, Andrew. Can you believe that the 3 parameter of the Mid function, which is now -41, must be a non-negative integer?

I've always been kind of partial to the empty string. More people should use it more often. Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, for instance.
- Sue - Friendfeed is best
The Great Google Wave invite thread. Anyone who wants an invite post your Gmail address here and anyone who has invites available please use to invite the people on this list. There are also a bunch of requests in the Invites group here: http://friendfeed.com/invites
I have a few but holding them for a few people who have already asked me. I'm at kolint [at] googlewave [dot] com btw. A pain I know but if you can, could you update your comment when you have an account or just delete your comment. Ta! :-) EDIT: Try this site for invites: http://googlewaveinvites.com/
- Kol Tregaskes
Are people on this list getting invites or at least been told they have an invite on the way? You might have to be patient, it could take a long time for one to come through.
- Kol Tregaskes
Adam, yep agree. Maybe because I did that (month ago though) helped me get mine through from Vijay so quickly!
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team
- Ema Nymton
Ysabel, ah I see, So lots of people must have nominated me. Darn, so a few users I have nominated could be waiting a looooong time. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in. It's like I've been sat at the front of a shop queue and everyone's just walking right past me into the shop. I am British but I detest both queuing and waiting, so this is pretty tough going
- Toby Graham
Like most other people, yesterday I wasn't aware of that I «needed» a Google Wave invitation this badly...but now I am!!! quackofdawn at gmail dot com

neternity@gmail.com and i promise to send a wave of 100,901 twitter followers to your doorstep each of whom will have averaged 1 tweet in their existence - this might not get me an invite but surely it will get some notice - must have that something special - my google wave invite special sauce ingredient is twitter juice PS Not to be construed as an offer, not valid in any of the 53 US states, do not try this at home, caution: contents are hot.

Probably why Apple didn't do one. Now they have a screen that goes all the way to the edge, maybe

reputation may be in the eye of the beholder but it sure can be handled by-proxy -- just like folks do that for fashion, politics and any other normal method of doing large group interactions
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Good point Rick, I couldn't find them
- Paul Roche
I think the best use of a Google Profile is to replace an About Me page on a blog and elsewhere - just link to it. (Need to do that myself actually.)
- Jeff Harbert
agree Jeff, i've been pointing my friends to do that on their blogs (and also pointing out that it can't hurt their google status to use a google product ;)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Rick - The TedX speeches are not yet online. Leo made a comment at the start of the show.
- Jeff Harbert
Tease: This week's guest, Siva Vaidhyanathan, deconstructs the Google book deal, it's the end of page rank as we know it, and the miracle of free bandwidth explained. Sort of.
- Leo Laporte
Leo will you be covering the NANOG47 meeting and the ARIN meeting next week? they are major meetings of the Internet Big-wigs
- Andrew Euell
Holy Cow, they finally go Siva! Quickly turning into my favorite TWiT show.
- Tim Albright
there isn't a casual frame of reference for wave yet. We are still using tech that is 20th century (or oldered) biased. Hands on "analog" in queue interaction is still how most ideas are concevied. Wave is different and doesn't fit in how most people think or even believe.
- Tony
it's funny but when I submitted my app for a developers preview account I said I wanted to investigate the possibility of integrating Wave into the programmers workflow, as a collaborative coding space and the ability to mesh nicely with Version/Source code control schemes. Sadly I did not get an account.
- Andrew Euell
NCSA HTTPd and Mosaic have come a long long way... sort of. :)
- Jay Cuthrell
if someone give me wave invitation then I will also try. some promised but have not given. :)
- Satya Prakash
Web evolved zillions of years ago. Now Wave may spoil the party.
- ThinkEzy
So you've snagged an invitation to Google Wave—or a pal is sending one your way—and you've already taken a look at what to expect. Let's dive deeper into Wave features, etiquette, and extensions.
- Alessandro
from Bookmarklet
so. how much has your productivity gone up thanks to wave?
- Andrew Euell
It's actually gone up tremendously. I tell people I've moved to Wave for all communication now. And since they haven't been invited yet, I get away with a distraction free workday.
- Dave
Live now: This Week In Google 10 with Gina Trapani, Jeff Jarvis, Kevin Marks, and Marshall Kirkpatrick on Google Wave. http://live.twit.tv. Discuss here...
I haven't heard a single positive thing about Wave yet. Still want to try it for myself, but it's interesting that there's so little positive buzz.
- Jeff Harbert
From what I have read (no invite yet) if I can run this on my own server for my 5 team members at work, THIS is the solution I have been looking for.
- Johnny
Also, Scoble missed the point. It's not social media or a broadcast medium. 100,000 would never be manageble team in any situation. Wave has power in small numbers. This beta is a free-for-all.
- Johnny
The API is where Wave is going to see some action, I think.
- Jeff Harbert
Johnny: "This beta is a free-for-all." Not so much at this moment :)
- Holger Eilhard
How do you get to the real time 'chat room' style view for the TWIG friend feed? No wonder this site hasn't taken off, the learning curve is unbelievable
- Matt
Leo, you gotta read my latest post where I take on the email metaphor of Google Wave and why Google Wave isn't productive.
- Robert Scoble
Wave is like an online whiteboard for web conferences.
- Jeff Harbert
Jeff: if you could lock it down to just people at the conference that might be useful.
- Robert Scoble
Just had a problem with Wave: I opened a window to ping Leo asking to join the TWig Wave, but I decided not to bother him. Unfortunately, as I saw on the live video, it already had -- he saw a flashing ping window before I even started typing! (I decided to type out a message at that point, seeing as it had already appeared on his screen.)
- Eric Geller
Can you run your own Wave server? wave.google.com isn't the only place this will exist
- Johnny
I'm pretty sure I'm scobleizer@googlewave.com
- Robert Scoble
If I can run my own instance, and control l those who go into it. NO SPAM.
- Johnny
I think you guys are missing the point. Wave is not a replacement for email it's a new solution to an old problem - how do I communicate efficiently with people around the world?
- Jan Cifra
Gina speaks so fast my brain can't keep up ><
- ralphsaunders
Seems to me like we're thinking of Wave in terms of every other open social media app out there. Like here in FriendFeed, or Twitter, or even email.
- Jeff Harbert
Doesn't wave cover the email paradigm well? Especially if you consider the federation/protocol part?
- Jan Cifra
Big 3: Google, Microsoft, Apple, not maybe in that order. So deserves its TWIT show
- Mark
Leo, can you talk about running your own Wave server. That would solve a lot of the issues with noise and unwanted people
- Johnny
stil waiting for my wave invite, wish i knew what was being talked about here
- Tate
Now I really understand why FriendFeed didn't add multi-level threading.
- Robert Scoble
Mark, thats what the Gilmour Gang was
- ralphsaunders
Danny, as Mark pointed out and Leo has stated... Apple and MS are both essentially platforms or ecosystems, as is Google... so it makes sense and just as in his other shows, the content isn't alwayslimited to google
- Gabe
Unlike Twitter you have to have other people who are already engaged to use Wave, so it will start as a business / org app
- Matt
the smartest people in the world are on the TWiT network ;)
- Mark
A good use for Wave would be for the TWiT shows. You can pause the live stream and it will buffer from where you left off but the Friendfeed room moves on so you are behind the chat and have no idea what is being talked about. Could make a wave client for TWiT shows so you can "playback" what you missed in synch with the video stream.
- Mark
Btw can you sort Waves based on contacts? The "Inbox" UI seems very confusing if you consider you could have hundreds of contacts - it could get messy.
- Jan Cifra
Hisham: If you have ever seen a successful wiki implementation, at work for example, the knowledge capture is amazing. I can see Wave taking this to the next level - especially the real time component.
- Marshall Huwe
Kevin is the smartest guy on the GG and now on TWiG
- Mark
Jeff, I meant before google integrates it into wave... unless it already is?
- Gabe
"Remember how they used the word 'wave' in Firefly? I wonder if that's where the Wave team got the name." That would be pretty funny, Jeff Harbert.
- Matt Cutts
Gabe, dunno if it's currently integrated or not.
- Jeff Harbert
@Hisham: do you have patients? do you do research? do you have staff? do you have peers? Don't know your situation obviously, but I can see lots of opportunity for knowledge capture, realtime collaboration, etc.
- Marshall Huwe
Ok, Simon Wicks, notagolfer, Rick and +1 for Jeff Harbert: I'll follow you, DM me an email address to use.
- invariant
Ribbit gadget it's really useful, imagine if TWiG can be segmented in episodes and each segment is a threaded wave, it will be easier for people that were not able to follow it in realtime, catch-up with the content/comments generated
- Alberto Saavedra
hi @mattcutts, you should invite @jewelstaithe to Wave...
- Kevin Marks
Thats an interesting Q's, how will Google integrate this into all its other Apps
- Rick
is scoble the only one not excited about Wave ?
- Mark
Here is why it will replace email. I send back and forth 6 emails about a subject to a person on my team. hen we have to bring someone else in on the conversation. They then have 12 emails to read before they catch up.
- Johnny
Mark: Re: Kevin Marks...And he's a really cool, laid back, and approachable in person.
- James Williams
Mark: no, I've gotten hundreds of replies from people who don't get it either.
- Robert Scoble
why is "Leo Laporte Makes $1" a trending topic on twitter???????????????
- Mark
@ribbit could add transcription of the calls into the wave, but there is a lag to do it
- Kevin Marks
Mark: see Mashable. Leo gave a talk at the Online News Association earlier today where he announced that his revenues are more than a million a year.
- Robert Scoble
re: ribbit gadget transcription: And it doesn't like some British accents ;)
- James Williams
Wow over $1million profit in a year after paying his staff!
- Mark
Jeff: Not much I think. It'll be just another place to check. But that could change if Android/iPhone gets a native client with a slick interface.
- James Williams
Not profit, Mark. Leo's statement was $350 K in costs and $1.5 mil in revenue.
- Debi Jones
Will wave.google.com be the only instance?
- Johnny
when is Google Wave coming invites Gmail users ?
- Michael Holzinger
the more money Leo makes the more likely we will have a new studio for TWiT Live soon with 480p stream and downloadable videos and more camera angles and new shows
- Mark
Quentin: same here. 3 nominations incoming, no sign from Google...
- Holger Eilhard
Kevin Marks: hi there! I'd happy invite @jewelstaite but I'm out of invites, and I'm guessing she's busy with lots of other things. :)
- Matt Cutts
Innovation needs promotion. Ashton and Oprah aren't here yet
- Johnny
Follow @larsras and @twephanie on twitter for updates regarding invites and stuff for Wave
- Kashif Khan
we care about wave but Tech Guy audience radio doesn't
- Mark
Johnny: Let's figure out the user exp first before they make it mainstream. Wave doesn't fit their model where they choose to broadcast but not engage.
- James Williams
James: Additionally it creates a hype... It's all like Gmail again :)
- Holger Eilhard
Usually if I miss a show, I keep watching live.twit.tv, I like serendipity of it :)
- notagolfer
How about live streaming in a Wave? That could revolutionize TWiT.
- Jeff Harbert
but I bet within a year or two TWiT live has 480p streaming and downloads
- Mark
But if I run my own server... Can't I control who joins?
- Johnny
Jeff: I would think so, I've seen group viewing in a wave (start/stop/ff/rewind of videos was synchronized and allowed video comments)
- James Williams
Does having more monitors really improve your productivity?
- tytycoon
Mark: It's the sweet spot for pricing. Quite a bit less $$$ than 24".
- Jeff Harbert
Oh Leo was your father on radio in Providence?
- Andrew Euell
I'm loving how Jeff Jarvis is thinking about the X PRIZE model for collaborative innovation. Here's his post on the subject he just discussed http://www.buzzmachine.com/2009... We're really trying to get that thought process out there.
- Mark Krynsky
When im coding at work, multiple monitors are awesome !!!
- Kashif Khan
Kevin is right. I'm excited about having my news curated by my social graph. Here's a service that is providing that info based on links created by who I follow on Twitter http://www.twittertim.es/krynsky
- Mark Krynsky
yeah that "Old Pakistan" comment didnt compute here either
- Kashif Khan
I find that by the end of this show I always have a million links open from both the chat and the show. What do you folks use to organize these things? Read it later? http://www.ideashower.com/ideas...
- tytycoon
Oh gosh, Dvorak was right about Bing, Yahoo and Google... :)
- Holger Eilhard
Leo, have you ever tried to Skype with someone who is in China for the live stream? Wonder if there would be any network issues doing a stream from China.
- Debi Jones
Tease: Today on TWiG: wave wave and nothing but wave. Marshal Kirkpatrick, Kevin Marks, join our rgulars Gina Trapani and Jeff Jarvis to take a look at Google Wave. Everything's shiny captain, This Week In Google is coming up next
- Leo Laporte
No wonder you have so many hats in your studio. You had to wear them all!
- shelter watch
Watched your ONA speech, it was excellent. Makes me wonder why you're not on more tech conference speaker rosters?
- Debi Jones
That is pretty epic data transfers with the flash drives. Did you ever have any problems with backing up? have you ever lost a show?
- tytycoon
Josh and I use dropbox and we take turns each week to edit. Juggling time for that with family and work is tough
- Johnny
I think Fibre Chanel for just a few stations is VERY over rated. ISCSI or NFS is quite enough if properly designed, and a fraction of the cost.
- kevin
I love dropbox. I use it for everything
- tytycoon
Leo, I was wondering if you should have single 'After Hours' post on twit-conversations so we don't fill show threads with off-topic chat
- Johnny
I thought you were moving to a storefront?
- shelter watch
This cottage looks so much nicer than what I imagine a storefront would be
- tytycoon
That's a lovely, historic location that you are in now. I love architecture history.
- shelter watch
I quess $30 is nit bad if you can actually use this to be productive. Thanks tytycoon
- Johann Diaz

Finally getting a chance to listen to this... Just to clarify, Wave is not really extension to XMPP per se. The federation protocol between Wave servers is XMPP based, but the client-server communication (in this case the communication between your browser and the Wave server) isn't using XMPP. I believe that at the moment it's a proprietary format for exchanging JSON. There's some discussion both on Wave and in Google Groups about standardization, but it's distinct from server-server federation right now.
