Re: So I finally tried Wave... - http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009...
"Yes GWave needs backwards email interoperability for maximum user adoption. As of now I have to keep inviting people and ask them to use Gwave in order to see its full potential. I agree with your overall assessment of the product. However I do believe that in its current form GWave may eventually make the Information Overload problem (inherent with Email) even worse. BTW, can you talk more about the "Automatic Email Prioritization" feature. What was that based on and why didn't it see the light of day?"

Re: RSS is how the news flows (Scripting News) - http://www.scripting.com/stories...
"In my opinion RSS is the "Thread that weaves the web". Rejecting RSS is like rejecting HTTP, as it has become such a backbone technology. I agree, that most people don't like the application layer (GReader, Netvibes etc). There is lot of room for innovation there. The critical innovation needed is to figure out how to filter through the data and deliver the right amount and relevant data to the user."

Wave is going to be awesome. Waiting on my sandbox access.. it will redefine communications on the net!

Or how about Google Wave: Pacific.
- TheHenry
Depends on their implementation of the idea. Personally, I'm more excited about Wave based on what I know about the two, which I admit is very little.
- Bryan Bartow
I have a Wave sandbox, and it IS awesome! The announcement has to be related to the new OS or android

If I had to guess, I would say 1) some type of Youtube Appliance (=Apple TV done right) or 2) Google News 3.0 (shifting from news to a discovery engine). The TV thing is probably bigger and somewhere they have a big competitive advantage with Youtube.

@Allen I love the concept, @Travis google killed the app that were at their first stage of development, FF is 85% finished (mean completed) the rest 5% will be user innovation, so even if Google buy FF they will not change a line in the code or the architecture.now who is the firt to like this post?!! what did Greader this week? who from Greader left the office to go to FF? too many question!!

Won't be hard to be cooler than Wave. Yes, I'm not a big Wave fan: way too noisy, messy, unusable... Maybe I'll change my mind in the future but for now, I still don't get what we'll do with this stuff and I don't buy the idea.
- Pascal Thivent
Okay, here are my predictions. First, let me say that being cooler than Wave will be quite hard because that's pretty awesome (do you have sandbox access Pascal? Because I'm sure that will change your mind). (1) Google TV - Never mentioned anywhere officially and would definitely be cooler than most others, however VEVO is somewhat similar. (2) GDrive/Cosmo/whatever they call it - would...

The amount of web-based applications being delivered from Google is amazing. There is so much potential in Google voice apps, Google Wave, which will put their social apps on steroids and now an OS. If they can leverage their brand and fan base into these other verticals; they will be a force to reckoned with and a huge target for anti-trust regulators...

- Garin Kilpatrick
I bet it's the Gdrive after I've just paid for an extra 10GB storage on Google. Would be cool to be able to access all my files from any google app, so I could add a picture from picassa webalbum or embed a video of mine/ favourited without having to go to the other site and copy a URL. This would set it up nicely for google OS

It is a Google-branded reality distortion field developed in collaboration with Apple. The reality distortion field prototype is so strong that Eric Schmidt was forced to resign from the Apple board of directors, lest his field encounter that of Steve Jobs reulting in mutual annihilation in a devastating burst of pure energy.

That's a really interesting idea, Gabe. It seems to go a bit against the drive that Google Apps will reduce the need for IT departments though, so I doubt it.

Google has created an OFF button for the internet and will demonstrate their magic later this year. After that, Google will solidify the world under one government known as the Google Wave Party. Then, SkyNet will be born and we will all be shocked and amazed when Google Androids storm through our neighborhoods, killing us all.

"Oscar, I agree with you. TV networks are dragging their feet in adopting the new medium as they dont know how to play in it. Their future is very similar to the print media. In my opinion they must fund innovation in the web media to be able to monetize that medium without implementing subscription models. Creative advertising, personalization etc are some of the areas to look at."

Re: Discontinuing the Cable TV Service - http://abhishek.tiwari.com/2009...

My goal is to watch all the content on my big screen and not my laptop. That has been a peeve of mine. Actually I watch all the Vodcasts on my TV too.

I too am getting random follow requests from people. I just don't follow them back. I don't see the problem.
- Abhishek Tiwari
see I don't think so. People who follow you can't post to your feed until you follow them. They also can't DM you. How can you spam someone if you can't get your message to them. Now TwitterStalking ( which is a funny web app idea ) may be the big problem.
- mark
mark, the main issue is people's inbox's getting filled up with the initial Follow requests, taking the time to review the followers' profiles, and deciding whether to follow, ignore, or block the new followers. This is happening 5 times a day for me now and it's getting old.
- Mike Doeff
The spam ends up in my inbox not my twitter account. The useless followers get me to click over to their profile then click on the web address to see who they are and more importantly why they would want to follow me; I'm no Scoble. Just a pain to see who they are. Maybe some of that info could be in the email alert from Twitter when they notify us of a follower. Maybe the stats could be listed.

Stalking? Why yes I am Mr. Scoble. Spam? Show me how. That would take being nice to people and not pissing them off. NO FUN!
- Noah David Simon
Doesn't Pownce and Jaiku have better features...Is it really the end of the world moving to other social services...I think we've all found that being the first people on certain social networks leads to making great connections and becoming an authority more easily. Why are we so afraid of this change? Filling out a registration form and doing all the work to build up your network again? YES, but the value ratio of this work and the contacts you build is greater than that on the "Myspace" or "Twitter."

"Raj, Thanks for quoting the line from Spider Man. I do get your point and must say that I kinda agree with it. Most users don't know how an application will behave on the handset. On PCs it maybe okay but mobile handsets is another story. However at the same time I don't like Apple being the sole gatekeeper controlling the access. It gives Apple the complete power to deny access to anyone who remotely does not meet their criteria. Here is what I propose. Apple should continue to offer the AppStore solution. Developers can host their apps for discoverability and distribution on AppStore. However Apple does not prevent any application from running on the iPhone. Apple should merely indicate the type of application and provide user's a warning system. This is very much like the movie rating system. Apple can have an application rating system in place. Most users can utilize this system to download and install applications. If an app has a bad rating as bandwidth hog or spam friendly,..."

Re: iPhone SDK, the New Walled Garden? - http://abhishek.tiwari.com/2008...
"Sean, Yep your assessment is correct. Historically they have done that. However I still am concerned about the AppStore model where they control the applications and the business model.

So the iPhone only syncs Outlook calendars. It doesn't even sync "web calendars" (i.e., it can't sync an ical calendar from Outlook, at least as far as I could tell). So my iPhone method is to sync Google Calendar to Outlook, then sync Outlook to iPhone. If there is a better way for iPhone, I would love to hear it. I was flabbergasted the iPhone calendar didn't support the ical format or any internet connectivity by default.
- Bret Taylor
Why don't you use Google Calendar directly on iPhone's Safari? (This question may be stupid, because again I don't have an iPhone.)
- Philipp Lenssen
The main reason is alerts and reminders. I sit programming, and I need my phone to ding at me if I need to leave for a meeting.

Wonder if SMS reminders would do (that's probably costly) or if you can get iPhone to ping you when you get a new email reminder from Google Calendar, perhaps only when using a certain subject keyword. Google Calendar has a "5 minutes before" reminder setting...

Now I'm no longer a liar when I said that this would be coming "soon" when we launched Calendar -- at least for some value of "soon". ;) Glad to see this live -- haven't tried it, but I hear its very solid.
