Live now: the Gillmor Gang on Google IO - with Steve Gillmor, Leo Laporte, Loren Feldman, Dan Farber, Mark Canter, Paul Buchheit, and Kevin Marks. http://live.twit.tv Discuss here....
If you thought the Twitter word derivations were bad...imagine all the Wave service derivations that are going to come about....like "Twave" - Wave Twitter...start registering domains!!
- Mike Bracco
Gilmor is always so bossy when he gets on! :)
- Mike Flynn
What I saw made me feel it was a product a real person (me) could use. Convesation, Marc. That's right! It's like track
- Francine Hardaway
No one bullshits like the Gillmor Gang! They are the pros.
- Dave Winer
The most important bit of Wave is that they have made real time features easy to develop by providing an open protocol and an open reference implementation.
- invariant
Tagline could be World Class Bullshit!
- Dave Winer
Speaking of all things live, I just declined to renew registration of the domain, doitlive.tv, expiring today. Can't justify the $50. Grab it, I'm just abandoning, not selling it.
- Amyloo
Gmail merging seems like a lock, but when do they merge Google Voice in to Wave?
- Mike Flynn
Every time google comes out with something, its followed by everyone saying "I had that idea back in the day!"
- Mike Flynn
Hi Aronski! We are all still here waiting for you:-)
- Francine Hardaway
that's the plus of using XMPP as the federating transport - it allows threaded xml packets to be transported - part of what Wave adds is the storing and changeset management
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
the chat at this point is the most extractable meta data from the show. now could we run a Calais app on it? organize the smart data and remove the fluff to give us a searchable conversation?
- michael sean wright
this is what microsoft wanted to do with sharepoint and exchange
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I'm not sure there's that much metadata, Nicefishfilms. Mostly friends talking and bantering
- Francine Hardaway
virtual bitch slap, there's an app for that
- J Allen
I was playing around with a dashboard/console idea like that a year ago or so. Watch later and follow the chat after the fact. http://amyloo.com/watchco...
- Amyloo
Francine, not yet, but what if.... a moderator created subject headings - pull quotes from the conversation. It's something that we're trying to do with Peter Himmelman. How to create a running commentary that is searchable later.
- michael sean wright
144 is the Dunbar number. The cognitive limit of groups.
- Cliff Gerrish
Right. There are not 150 people chatting here,but there are probably more than 150 listening.
- Francine Hardaway
Oh, I had a work call that came in that I had to take on the cell...but my iPod is set up to take calls too...
- Aron Michalski
but Dunbar is appropriate when everyone is conversing and exchanging info - i'm thinking that we have a 20/80 model in effect so that allow for a larger participating audience with a much much larger consuming audience
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I'll guess that 15% of us in here now, probably participate actively in Wikpedia editing.
- CLC Radio
always thought of this as conversation in pods. subjects covered would go under a header. then an off topic, random flow in side window? again mods would have to play a part in it. so Tina could hastag/ mark IO portion. then thread the conversation. the headers would still be seen but condensed?
- michael sean wright
I think it's remarkable that all these rooms, feeds and streams are all connected, all around this group of people, all as it's happening... it's multi-Real...
- Aron Michalski
@Paul Bucheit - Any thoughts are adding FF features to live event chats like this to provide additional functionality that make sense for a chat that occurs alongside a live show like this?
- Mike Bracco
Main problem with HTML5 is what codecs to support, Firefox 3.5 supports Ogg Theora, Safari/Webkit supports H.264/MP4. Video is being built-in but different browsers are supporting different codecs.
- LonelyBob
colleen says she can't get Loren to answer - so he might have lost connectivity
- Leo Laporte
If they haven't already answered it, has anyone asked Kevin: "Isn't Wave too complicated?" Sure, it appears to be the intelligent person's new email system, but isn't the learning curve so great that it keeps the average Joe-browser-and-email away?
- tollie williams
Kevin already said you have to try Wave to get it
- Leo Laporte
tollie, seems to me that the API gives developers the chance to make it easy for users...
- Karoli
the beauty of the system tollie is that you wont need to use the Wave UI that was shown yesterday
- Jamie
we're about to wrap.... I think.... anyway. Thanks so much for joining us today
- Tina Chase Gillmor
As long as Silverlight is the only way to get netlfix streaming...I'll still use it
- Mike Bracco
Silverlight dead? Was it ever alive?
- John Wallace
...and by wrap I mean continue until the traditional very abrupt end of show
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Gotta go. Love this way of sharing GG. You guys know Canter was the Director man, you saw Steve's video with Sergey, so much nicer for me than the IRC chat. Thanks.
- Amyloo
I asked for a login to the wave sandbox
- Leo Laporte
hoping to get to play with it a little
- Leo Laporte
The statement "Flash is dead" is a bit too strong. Flash will be around for a few more years even if Adobe stopped working on it and I haven't heard Adobe stopping anytime soon, it's just so ubiquitous. But statements on the Gillmor Gang usually are overly strong.
- LonelyBob
Until the masses try out these new technologies, the bloggers and reviewers can talk about them all they want. They might sound great but wait until they are live. Remember the Vista launch?
- John Wallace
we're moving Gillmor Gang to 4:30p Pacific on Fridays - so set your alarm Denise!
- Leo Laporte
etherpad is lookng to charge only 3 to 5 dollars US per month for their hosted model - nice price for me here.
- CLC Radio
Leo - HTML5 Video is working *right now*. In modern browsers, of course. Chrome 3.0.182.3 (I can confirm that), Safari's latest beta and Firefox's latest beta/RC, from what I hear. I linked to a demo HTML5 video above, I'll repost if needed.
- Vlad Bobleanta
Q: So if I'm teaching someone beginning HTML, how long until they need to depreciate XHTML1 and HTML 4? ie. When do we drop the IMG tag, and begin using the semantic naming tags?
- tollie williams
Modern = Right Now. That's how things get done.
- Cliff Gerrish
this is such an intelligent comments page ( the people in it)... It always amazes me
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Thanks for bringing up the video Codec question Leo. True Webkit based browsers are all MP4/H.264 supported, but Firefox/Mozilla is not. https://developer.mozilla.org/En...
- LonelyBob
wow - I want to stay for the end - but I have to get dinner for the family - i'll have to catch the rerun
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
etherpad-romance still: you can create the url of choice for free - it doesnt have to be the auto-generated url (it's still not secure until they rollout the hosted pay-per-month model or you get the enterprise local server solution)
- CLC Radio
If IE 8 doesn't support it though how widely used can it be. Is it just for the browser elite?
- Leo Laporte
@Leo - that's what I was saying earlier...until IE supports html5, you can't really plan on using it, if you have a mass market site
- LiQiuD
gotta grab some dinner before they close... EDT here...See you next time, thanks for being here!!! Thanks Tina, my best to the Gang...
- Aron Michalski
I know the non-IE browsers are using the advanced elements of HTML5, but I don't think there's any that support the SRC attribute thrown in on any tag to display images... which is how HTML 5 wants to work.
- tollie williams
More capability will drive usage. It's what you can do with it. That's what'll drive standards. (microformats)
- Cliff Gerrish
I wish I had more battery life to keep this up but I'll be back in about an hour :)
- Jay Cuthrell
LonelyBob - agreed. Rather strange and I hope they'll all settle on one in the future.
- Vlad Bobleanta
@Leo or anyone, that was my main concern of using IE 8; are there built in over-rides for some of the site-bloacking behaviour I have noticed?
- CLC Radio
@Leo I guess if MS don't have IE support HTML5 in the next few months, Wave (if released by then) might drive adoption of alternatives. Which can only be good in my book. However, I'll be surprised if it takes MS more than 12 months to add support. Just my 2 cents.
- Vlad Bobleanta
At Apple Genius Bar yesterday, Genius recommended Firefox over Safari to customer as more widely compatible (her Yahoo mail worked right in the first, not in the second).
- Denise Howell
IE8 will support HTML5 via a level of indirection (a dongle)
- Cliff Gerrish
@Denise - LOL. Yahoo mail has a terrible and overbloated UI.
- Vlad Bobleanta
yes Leo that's what i'm talking about, extracting the live chat and moderating for later recall... clustering the meta data of the conversation. marking headers/ chapters. seeding it with quotes from the conversation.
- michael sean wright
And one more thing. I really really hope Google doesn't (or don't?) screw this up and let it die like, um, other projects (though those were mostly acquired, not developed in-house). There's just too much potential here.
- Vlad Bobleanta
Is a wave gadget similar to a chrome extension?
- Vezquex
pull quotes from Kevin Marks, Google - "Google is designed to make mistakes in public." "Twitter is generative, we use it then argue about the best way to use it." and quoted - "The future is already here - it is just unevenly distributed." -- William Gibson
- michael sean wright
I would love if the comment box could stay up and float with the FF chat feed. It keeps dissapearing between entries - might be a browser compat issue on my end?
- CLC Radio
Does colleen smoke? her voice is so gravelly
- David Lloyd
There is no timestamp on this page, I dont have a clue TCG
- CLC Radio
click the "2 hours ago" text at the top of this post
- David Lloyd
that makes the comment box always at the bottom
- David Lloyd
I refreshed the browser (just in case), and so,(in hindsight) you meant click F5 (or somehow refresh the browser) so that I would see the time-stamp, then click that (whatever time it would be, in this case 2 hours ago), then I would only see just this conversation, got it. iow, it could have said 1 minute ago or some such, when the conversation was first started, I get it ow, thank you.
- CLC Radio
yes... think you got it now. window should then stay on the bottom but sometimes disappears for a sec if the commenting is very fast
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Things like this can take me a while to get. Really kind of the first time I have used FF this much!
- CLC Radio
I will say though, back to the show, that the etherpad kills me - that is pretty cool right now. I noticed after playing with it, that their free hosted server stays connected better/longer using FireFox - not so much with SeaMonkey for some reason.
- CLC Radio
I love you The Gillmor Gang. I missed your show this week. That made me sad. Someone gave me a bittorent link to an mp3 recording. That made me happy. I'm going to listen now. I am excited. I am happy. Google Wave seems like it will make me happy. Google wave is like the Gillmor Gang to me in that sense. OK. I;m going to listen now. i love you The Gillmor Gang.
- Wo
Interesting how the Gillmor Gang community takes to Friendfeed commenting. See breakdown of # of comments by TWIT network episode http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc...
- Amyloo
10:00PM on Sunday and replay of GG just started on live.twit.tv
- Ken Sheppardson
I think it is funny that Bill Gates says "Give it away, you'll enjoy it," Yet Google is the one open sourcing Wave and all of their other projects to the community. http://www.reuters.com/article...
