Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier.
- Bob Blunk
Fax, Petr. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?

i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm

Sounds a LOT like FriendFeed. This appears to be a shot at the real-time social web (in relation to friends). However, I guess it's not as public which is one interesting difference.

from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Now the question for late 2009-early 2010... does FriendFeed need to integrate (even integrate into) Wave? Immediate reflection is that this will be more for tight-knit correspondence, ala email -- more of a threat to Facebook's model than to Friendfeed's (where broadcasting and discussion among people barely acquainted are the modes). Tho plenty of room for all.
- Christopher Galtenberg
The comparison to Groove, and the parallels to 'Practical Groupware' also occurred to me (BTW, thank you Tim for starting the process of getting a version of it up on Openbooks!). But what struck me most is that this reinvention of email and the erasure of the distinction between collaboration and conversation is essentially private. A large part of Jon's book was concerned with taking...

Gah. 'stuck me most'? 'Thanks you Tim'? I should wait until I've finished my coffee. Incidentally, I've corrected all these mistaks on the FriendFeed instance of the comment. If this was a wave, I suppose those edits would be reflected here.

Uh-oh. Looks like edits in FF *are* reflected here, but long comments then become truncated, and they lose the extra line-breaks. Hmm.
- Michael R. Bernstein
from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Reposting the second half of my comment here: Another set of problems occurs to me: We understand more-or-less the implications of having multiple email accounts, and our email clients have features to support this, but what does it mean to have multiple Wave accounts, especially on separate Wave servers? For that matter, when you leave Acme or Initech, can you take your waves with you...

How do you download a web browser without a web browser installed?
- Jamie Vidamour
@jamie: I'm sure OEM's are kind enough to install IE8 to the computers before they leave the shops :) Those that upgrade or for some other reasons don't get any browser can call those Linux-friends of theirs that do all their relatives' computer support. I'm sure they'll be happy to install "Microsoft Internet" for those in need ;)

You can still access web addresses from a standard Windows Explorer page by typing the address into the location bar rather than a drive location.
- Wizetux
@Wizetux: That used to be the case up to Windows XP. AFAIK and in my experience after MS divorced the browser from the Windows shell completely from IE7 and onward, doing what you said simply invokes the system's default browser.

Whether or not this is actually intentional (I like to believe it is, just as I like to believe that Conan himself sat down and designed the set), I think we all pretty much have to concede that the new Tonight Show set is therefore already the greatest backdrop in television history.

Just one thought - did I click a Friendfeed box when I signed up that said that my comments were CC-ASA 3.0? At the end of the day what I write here is public, but it is my content. Like I say, just a thought, but also a possible beartrap coming...
- Andy Bold
Interesting point, Andy.
- Kol Tregaskes
++Andy. This needs much more discussion.
- Micah Wittman
OK, so now that I have read some more it looks like I would have to actively choose to participate in a Purefold thread. At first glance I thought that it would be scraping Friendfeed for content. Still an issue though - it should be clear in a thread that is going to be used that participation is subject to the CC license. And please make it as clear as possible without requiring somebody to click to somewhere else and figure out some legalese :-)
- Andy Bold
Hey Andy, Indeed, Friendfeed doesn't have an explicit Creative Commons tick box. But the genius of Friendfeed is that comment lines (here) can be used to set a licence. So all you should have to do is state the licence e.g. CC-BY-SA and we can retrieve items via the Friendfeed API. Any import items (your flickr, youtube, blog posts) all should have licence applied there (licence the source).

Also, there are other ways we are interacting with Purefold groups on Friendfeed, which we'll explain over the next few weeks.

it was due to the protracted level of rationing in the UK from ww2 that has lead to such a bad state of our national dishes - you know the UK was still in rationing deep into the 50's? We used to have a massive taste in game fowl, whole succled pig etc. You just don't see it any more.

Josh, it does look good, the real-time, the spell-checking, the linking, the commenting, the maps...

The big thing about wave to me is the open protocol. It's like if Twitter embraced Laconica rather than pretending it didn't exist.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I'd have to play around with it before developing a better vision of what can be done with it. I think how it's used and how it interacts with other services like FF will evolve as it's used.
- phil baumann
You can certainly see features like the live typing, the spell-checking and the translating in sites like FriendFeed (or in a FriendFeed extension within Google Wave.
- Kol Tregaskes
The translation tool was wonderful. I'd love to have that! :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
Phil, yeah it's nice to see screenshots and a video demo but really eager to actually get my hands on it. Though it sounds like it a few months off! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
FF definitely needs realtime translation. Google already has the auto-detect going on their google translator and that's been integrated into Google Reader for a while. It will be great to see it opened up to realtime services.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel, agree.
- Kol Tregaskes
I love it a priori. Yet, I've some concerns about my future information management system (which is currently built on Google): Talk, Gmail, Blogger, Groups, Forum, Notebook, Orkut, Profiles would be merged in Wave, ok. Now, how would you integrate Google Reader and Docs (Photos, Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, My Maps, Videos... i.e. Google Web Drive)?
- Jérôme Flipo
Jérôme, interesting point, especially about Google Reader. What about Gmail? Is Google Wave the end of Gmail?
- Kol Tregaskes
Google Reader should be fully integrated to read and comment public posts in one place.
- Jérôme Flipo
Kol, Gmail will die naturally. You'll sign in your geeky friends on Wave, then your less-techy but curious brother, then some colleagues who need collaboration for a specific project and then Wave will run the world. I don't need a fax anymore ;)
- Jérôme Flipo
And for the transition, the Gmail will provide you with a Wave robot to manage your email from there.
- Jérôme Flipo
But how can Wave offer an alternative to RSS? Will a website be able to send a public not editable Wave, which support comments? Would a website be a Wave itself, with post as "blip"?
- Jérôme Flipo
And what about Docs and Web Drive? Google will need a Drive to help people bring private stuff in the cloud. But it will be very hard to integrate Docs. Why not just write a document/spreadsheet/pres. "inside" Wave? They'll really need to rebuild Docs.
- Jérôme Flipo
I'm also worried about the social aspect of this service as information won't be people-centric in Wave, contrary to Twitter, Friendfeed and Facebook. I don't see any *public* stream natively build in Wave. And that's a *huge* limitation.
- Jérôme Flipo
Maybe Google don't want to be part of the social thing, except for Friend Connect and Open Social. They may consider launching the killer Wave-supported Profile service afterwards. But it's clearly not their priority.
- Jérôme Flipo
Something else I really liked was the way it integrated into a blog. I hope that we could do something like that on a WordPress blog too. Ideally that's exactly what I'd like to do with my FriendFeed posts (to my blog) and/or vice versus. I know it updates in real-time already when you embed a post from FF to your blog but it's in an iframe which is really annoying.
- Kol Tregaskes
For microbloggers, Wave will be big, for sure. I liked the demo of Bloggy The Robot: just imagine website like TechCrunch, Reddit, Digg and traditional newspaper with such a commenting tool...
- Jérôme Flipo
Putting my concerns aside, I think Wave will allow Google to kill many projects that need their own development program, too merge all their communication products in one. That should save them lots of time and resources.
- Jérôme Flipo
Nice coincidence, Inside Facebook just wrote a post about Wave competition http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009.... But they're missing the "public" thing. Which is very important, especially for early adopters.
- Jérôme Flipo
Want to publish something as public in wave ? There is an extension for that (reminds me iPhone ads)
- Luka
I think it's outstanding... I'm so impressed by the demo it hurts. I never even conceived the notion of record/playback of waves. It's like the conversation is being recorded and you can play it back. Google has created a DVR for online conversations.
- Bwana ☠
Bwana, for Google Docs revision history users playback is just obvious :)

Apply that to any online conversation and it becomes non-obvious and ingenious.

I like what I see of Wave as far as using it for private communications w/in a group/company that may or may not be published. However, I also see a limitation in it's use for blogging as some of the best blog posts aren't the actual blog but the interaction between the commentors and/or the responses to specific comments by the blogger him/herself. Unless it can be updated in real time I don't see how that would work to improve a blog except to post what was said at the time of the Wave.

"When Google Wave made its public debut last week, it created quite a stir, but without being able to get a hands-on look at the product, it was quite hard to really grasp the implications of what Google was trying to do. Today, we got access to Wave, and after testing it for a while, we can confidently say that Google is indeed on to something. The developer sandbox version we have access to is still a bit rough around the edges, and quite a few functions are still unavailable."

When you meet someone and they tell you their name, that will be recorded, and behind the scenes software will figure out who they are (name/facial rec) and will create a contact for them with whatever information they share on the internet.

Microsoft and (I think) BT in the UK were working on this a few years ago. Biggest problem is storage. I think this one syncs with holographic storage, something else that is coming, but I'm going to say 10 years :-)

- ha3rvey (wants confit)
I sure hope not. Aside from the obvious privacy intrusions into others' lives, what does this level of automation do to our ability to basic manual tasks, and how does one deal with what to do with all of this data after death? Some things in life are better left ephemeral.
- LogEx
Tad, I was thinking archive. You could probably fill 1Tb in a couple of days with audio & HD. But then I started thinking "Doesn't actually matter. Wireless is getting better and more ubiquitous. As long as you hit wireless 'net every so often, you're sync'd..."
- Andy Bold
We'll barely have a widespread 4g network by then. I sort of agree. Local storage is old school. Everything will be live streamed.
- Rodfather
Tad, now that I'm on the same page, I'm with you on this one. Buffer locally to a teeny-weeny 1Tb chip in your cell using Bluetooth 8.0 at 1Gb/s, small cams and mics in specs or shades streaming to that. Hmmm.... Sync via WiFi when you get to homebase (only way to be safe and secure, right?) and iLife 14 does it's face and audio recognition thing. It gets tagged, sorted, stored, and whatever else you want to do with it, automatically. Yep - definitely going to happen. Let's get writing :-)

Real-Life Streams, huh? I'm not sure how I feel about it. One part of me is going "COOL!" and another part is with LE going "wait, EVERYTHING?"

If this becomes reality, it'll make Googling stuff instead of just knowing it ten times worse. People could go around without remembering or knowing anything inherently. So much for things like school exams. I'm assuming that there would be a way to access the info as easily as recording it.
- Kamilah Gill

- Michael R. Bernstein
That's coming no matter what Kamilah - think of how much more powerful iPhones will be in 5 years. There will be a model with 1TB storage. That's enough to put all of Wikipedia + tons of other stuff. Education should shift from "knowing stuff" to "how to solve problems." No amount of storage will do problem solving. I think we'll need to wait another 20 years or so for that tech. :)
- Tad
from fftogo
Honestly, I would do it. If by then, there's something so small where I could just press a button and record something to the cloud, I'm all over it. I mean, I'm already doing it with qik.com. It just takes more steps to do it.
- Rodfather
I've been trying to achieve something like that since the 90's. Used a full sized laptop + aircard and streamed video to a webserver while driving. A year ago, used a UMPC w/ USB broadband modem & ustream. Now, iPhone w/ qik.
- Rodfather
Tad, most of us (ie. over 50%) who use FF *currently* will be recording a video lifestream in 5 years? Hmm.
- Michael R. Bernstein
I think this would change what it means to be human, and not in a good way.

Tad, I will not dispute that storage will be available and affordable for this in five years, but I think you're underestimating how long it takes for such hardware to become ubiquitous. The desktop I am typing this on right now is over three years old.

We constantly change what it means to be human. Unless tech progress is seriously hampered this will happen for sure. Best we start thinking now how to use it to better ourselves.

This would make a great dystopia movie, probably been done but I just can't think of it.

- LogEx
The first level of integration will be in our automobiles. Imagine the legal benefit to recording everything going on around you as you drive. Arguing that some idiot veered into your lane and caused the wreck can now be proven, case closed. http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/car-sec...

So, if people do this, there will be a radical shift in the way laws are enforced. You can't lie if everything you've done (and people have done to you) is on video. There will be fewer incidents (or at least fewer uncaught) of rape and other violent crime because it will all be recorded and the perpetrators identified immediately. What will change in society when you can't lie or hurt someone else and get away with it??

And here's one more thing - in this real-time era why in the world are banks mostly closed over the weekend? I can access the website, but good luck transferring any money over a weekend and having it take.

I haven't seen many guesses about where the name Google Wave came from. Care to speculate what inspired the name?

WAVE = Will Anyone Value Email?

It came from a name that isn't yet trademarked by someone else for a similar web type of service

the team is from Australia right - don't all Aussies drink beer and surf? :)

Are Jens and Lars danish guys? As with the V8 engine, I guess some Danes are good programmers..

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.

Glenn, good one: http://sendingawave.wordpress.com
- Daniel Shaw
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

@Julian, and Wave goodbye to Blogs, wikis, Twitter, Facebook and Twitter as well..

That's some interesting suggestions very quickly. :)

Yeah, but are any of them right?
- Glenn Slaven
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.

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
Rocking the boat makes waves.
- Louis Gray
@Johnny Worthington: That's even funnier if I imagine you saying it with your Aussie twang.
- Martin Bryant
It comes from the fact that waves start off as nothing and grow and grow until they become strong and mighty which is what a wave in Google becomes ;)
- Nicholas James
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!

Are media objects Waves or Particles?

Because "Google Tsunami" would get the notice of antitrust regulators..?

I don't know where the name came from, but I think the name fits it perfectly.

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.

I guess because calling it "The Dog's B*ll*cks" didn't sit well with the Marketing guys..? :-)

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
Ocean of information, many waves. People can make their own waves. Surfing the Internet.
- Cristo
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

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.

Water Beds, Take Two? Funky ‘Liquid’ Furniture Ideas | dornob - http://dornob.com/water-b...

A water bed surrounded by a moat - what an interesting way to wake up in the morning. Still, it is certainly not something for sleep walkers. We like to relax in water though, right? So how about taking water and applying it to another piece of furniture … such as a couch? Probably a crazy idea, but it does get you thinking about the other strange and interesting ways we can mix water with furniture design.
