Google Wave is Coming: 100,000 Invites Go Out on September 30th - http://mashable.com/2009...

"Less than two months ago, Google dropped a spectacular surprise upon the world: Google Wave. The communication tool aspires to redefine not only email, but the entire web. And from our very first test of Google Wave to our complete Google Wave Guide, we have to say that it’s a game changer. Well, in the last two months, Google and third-party developers have been hard at work testing out the system, fixing the kinks, and building some amazing extensions (which we discussed in-depth previously). Still, only a handful of people, almost all developers, have access. That’s about to change soon though: on September 30th, Google will start sending out about 100,000 invites for the next version of Google Wave."

I certainly would love to be one of the 100k. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hopefully invitations will be worldwide and not US-centric as Google Voice for which I have a superb unusable invite!
- Jean-Charles VERDIE
Kol, I'm standing in line right next to you :)
- Holger Eilhard
Jean-Charles VERDIE, I assume that has more to do with the telephone exchanges etc that Google need access to before they can provide Voice to other parts of the world. However I cannot see why Wave would have any Geo-retardation linked to it... but who knows. Me, I signed up for the updates to see if that counts towards the likely recipients of the Golden Tickets.
- travispuk
Travis, I agree with you and don't see neither what could bring such problem. I just blame google for sending an unusable invite on GV
- Jean-Charles VERDIE
Jean, that is very odd. Someone at Google didn't think about that properly. ;-)

Holger, and about a million others as well I'd imagine.
- Kol Tregaskes
as a physicist i'm quite amused by "Google Wave Guide"
- Imabug
@Imabug, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one geeky enough to catch the wave guide reference (and mention it before I had a chance to)
- Seth Greenblatt
In the meantime, you can set your own server up, if you're a glutton for punishment, but don't expect it to be interoperable with the Wave Sandbox, or even functional. Still, it'd have been fun if they implemented a GMail-style "chain mail" invitation system, for the time being.

I hope additional invites will follow shortly after. :-)

Micro-blogging is good for idealets and infotainment, but it really is turning the web into a mindless medium like TV. Of course, there will always be the equivalent of PBS trying valiantly to raise the bar somewhat. Blogs will always have the possibility of transmitting real knowledge.
- Paul W. Homer
The interesting thing for me is I think we have lost the definition of what a blog is. Everybody jumped up and down about what Steve Rubel did, but really I see his change as a shift of platform. If he posted that same content on wordpress, nobody would have said a word. Just because he did it on posterous and called it a lifestream, people took issue with it. So, what is our definition then?
- Robert
I think Steve still has a weblog, he's just submitting posts to it in a "different" way. Like Dave's link says a weblog is "... a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser." Pretty much sums it up, I think. Steve's post is going to generate attention, and debate, but in the end it's a weblog.
- Rob Fahrni
Robert, I know you're asking Dave a question, but I don't think the Posterious way goes against the definition. If I'm not mistaken Radio could post via e-mail, and I know Blogger supports this feature. Maybe I need to dig into Posterious a bit more but isn't that what it does?
- Rob Fahrni
Rob - That is my point. This in my mind is one of the major problems with looking for a "new name" for these social products. We see it as something different because it is called something different. Posterous, from what I can see so far, allows for the writer to interact with their "weblog" in a different way, just as you said...
- Robert
from email
Huh?
- Dave Winer
Dave - I think your "huh?" was towards me... We call Posterous a "life stream", I say it is a blog, that we have given a different name to. That is what I am saying.Rob - I agree with you 100%, and that is my point exactly. I keep reading these post about blogging being dead, or blogging being alive... but those that say they are not "blogging" are still "blogging" Maybe I am not making sense, but I hope I am...
- Robert
from email
Robert - Precisely! I think Posterious is trying to find a why to differentiate their product, so they've coined a new phrase. It's still a weblog, how the data arrives may be different, but it's just a weblog all the same. When I read Steve's story last night, from his new site, I thought I was going to find a link on it to something "new and innovative", then I realized I was AT the actualy site, his "life stream."
- Rob Fahrni
Robert - Right on!

Blogology is a still too young science, and definitio usually comes when plays are over. What I feel sad for is the lack of opportunity future literature and social behaviour experts will suffer not using post's content ( and graphics ) as sources for studying today's world zeitgeist.

It's funny that this sentence and a few lines from Anthony Trollope's autobiography should have crossed paths in my consciousness on the same day, since it's almost the same idea, thrown back two temporal orders of magnitude. Trollope tells of a correspondent, a vicar, who had enjoyed his clerical novels but was upset by Lady Glencors'a contemplation of adultery in the Pallisers series....

Agreed, Dave. Heck, we blogged back in the day via FTP uploads; that's what moved you towards developing "Edit This Page", in fact (IIRC).

Before Web 1.0 we listened, conversed, collaborated and then we wrote. Writing was the synthesis of all the thinking that occurred in the first steps. In the new medium, the thinking process is the streams, both personal and community. Blogging is the synthesis of this new kind of community thought process.
- Joolio
Dave - haha! - that is awesome :D
- Susan Beebe
I think a large percentage of bloggers were really microbloggers, they just didn't have the correct apps to do that. The people that actually have something to say will keep blogging and those that just like to say something small or share something interesting will continue microblogging, or lifestreaming, or whatever variant you want to name it. Blogging is akin to publishing articles...

Question: Of those of you out there who use posterous, do you use it as a replacement of your blog, a mirror of your blog or something different?
- Curt Mercadante
One of the things I like about blogging is the ability to not finish a thought, not to try so hard to say all I have to say or say come to any definite conclusion in a single post. The unfinished thought is what encourages conversation. Let someone else add to your thought. Let others challenge your incomplete premise. I don't know everything, why pretend I do? My thoughts are never finished.
- Jack&Cleo
Wow, you're right Dave, scripting news was indeed VERY much a microblog. Interesting & thanks for pointing that out!

Just as your diary became your journal and then your log, your log has become your stream. The web has become your life..... AND SO IT WAS, that in the year naught-nine, the web-log was renamed to life-stream, dissected, and it's pieces scattered about the hundreds of "cloud" services, from which it could fall as raindrops of thought, pinging here and there in an attempt to spread ideas to where they were needed the most.

Matthew DeVries: that covers definitions 1 and 2, yet the 3rd is an "incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result," where in this case the expected result was to explain how new platforms prevent thoughts from being finished, and the actual result was to the contrary :D

The following map shows averages by state, so you can see how you stack up to the rest of the country."

Carlos - I don't even know how they calculated it and I think you're on to something.

- Rob Diana
Actually, Mona, if you're living with your parents but have financed a high end car, chances are you've got a better than average credit score since you're not as overextended as someone with a mortgage... Which is kind of sad.
- FFing Enigma
+1 Tina, if I still lived at home I'd have an extra 1300 - 1500/month in cash... You can get a pretty nice car for that.
- matthew john ernisse
That's not true - if you're living with your parents and driving expensive cars, OH! I forgot to specify. These are kids right out of high school and or attending jcs. They work their part time jobs, buy their blings, and drive expensive cars they can't afford. I've seen one too many of them unable to meet their car payments, take out loans, etc. Then again, the Bay Area, especially where I grew up, is a hm...very 'special' place.
- Mona Nomura
To add, California is known to be a culture where people live and spend beyond their means.
- Mona Nomura
That brings up a really good question...where DO people learn about financial responsibility?
- Mona Nomura
Tiffany, that's part of it. The unemployment and education numbers here are also part of it. In a county with +20% unemployment there will be bills that get sidelined or unpaid altogether as people struggle to feed themselves and keep gas in the car to get to work.As for where people learn about financial responsibility: it's usually the parents, and usually indirectly. I wish personal finance were a high school requirement...
- FFing Enigma
Mona, as far as I can tell, financial responsibility seems to be available only as on-the-job training. Sometimes you get some knowledge from parents too, but that seems to be about it.
- Rob Diana
That's another problem (drag out foreclosures) since there are a lot of businesses that spawn from foreclosures. i.e. mortgage loan companies that have low interest rates that double, triple, even quadruple over time (when reading the fine print). Not sure about NY, but I've seen A LOT of Californians get screwed over. :(
- Mona Nomura
Another factor here, Tiffany: predatory lending. There are a ton of check advance and title loan places here (I mean a TON).
- FFing Enigma
Mona - re: financial responsibility, I can only speak for myself but I learned the hard way:) A good lesson too because I'm now better off because of it but it took awhile.
- Rick Bucich
As for predatory lending, I wouldn't be surprised to see additional regulatory legislation on that front. And in general, there are few reasons for a sub-prime borrower to be buying in the first place.
- Rick Bucich
If schools offer sex-ed, they should offer 'real life $$ skills'... I too, know one too many who've learned the hard way :(
- Mona Nomura
It is funny that schools don't offer a "personal finance" course. It would probably help much more than they think. I wish some of the personal finance information was available when I was younger.
- Rob Diana
Convicted financier criminals should be mandated to teach 'personal finance' courses as part of their 'punishment' and rehabilitation.
- Mona Nomura
Nope. I wouldn't want my children learning personal finance from a convicted money fraud.
- FFing Enigma
The schools should get course material from the Narional Restaurant Assoc. Learn from people fighting in the economic trenches.

This article, like Pascal's wager, suffers from the false premise. Pascal assumed either no God or God as described in the Bible.

But what if it's all noise?
- Vezquex
Love your critics. This is a FF usability issue, not (strictly) a personality problem.
- dpurrington
Likey. But it's neverending it seems. I'm afraid the arguing about noise will only get worse.

RSS Has Practically Eliminated My Need for Browser Bookmarks - http://www.louisgray.com/live...

Evernote is doing that for me. I get the bookmark which may or may not go "poof" one day and the relevant content (and only the relevant content) that won't ever disappear on me.
- Lindsay
Multiple Home Pages in today's internet browsers (that open into multiple Tabs) and restoration of pages that were last opened in browser also somewhat eliminates needs for bookmarks.
- Atul Arora
I'm with Lindsay on this. I was bitterly disappointed with Evernote when the first release of their web product came out (and coincident ending of offering/development of their Windows desktop version), but over time (and especially since the release of the iPhone version I have come to depend on Evernote and my use of bookmarks (including the Delicious et al type) has rapidly declined- it is so great to have the relevant content along with the link to source (which I now use for reference citing purpose).

All my internet surfing these days occurs from Google Reader. It has practically eliminated my 'internet surfing' days.
- tsiakhyie
Well, I still bookmark but only the pages with tutorials and other reference text (something I would like to quote, for instance). But yes, the pages I am checking more often - they "land" in Google Reader (right now Feedly flavour).

Sites with no RSS end up in delicious and then I forget them

The world is a collection of RSS feeds. If it isn't an RSS feed, it's not on the grid.
- Sean McBride
I too like to start out from my RSS feeds, but enjoy browsing where I haven't been before as well. I use Diigo for bookmarks, but mostly to share pages and highlights with a group.
- John Serra
Agreed. Bookmarks are for practical items that I return to frequently and that's all. I start with RSS most of the time and then add stuff to Delicious if I find it interesting or want to read it later. One thing I missed (headslap) and have now done is put a bunch of News Alerts into RSS. Day 1 and I'm already finding new things far quicker.
- AJ Kohn
I have a handful of bookmarks that take me to my personal pages (like WP-admin pages) - Other than that, it's rss or links people send me, that then go into rss

I like instapaper - stuff I want to read but don't have time. getting into Evernote also
- BEX
Bookmarks? What are those? I have a bunch of bookmarklets on my toolbar, but that's about it. I haven't used a bookmark from the menu in years.
- Mr. Gunn
I have some bookmarklets, a small set of bookmarks on iGoogle organized in folders, and a boatload of social computing sites where I dump my infostream (FF, Twitter, delicious).
