Google Wave

Too bad I can't see where Wave represents an improvement on any level.  With all of Google's resources, they have come up with a way to turn your browser into a non-verbal conference call, with all of the interruptions, confusion, background noise, having to repeat everything over and over again because one person has a bad connection, arguments over which window to place over top of someone else's window, making everyone sort through everyone else's photo albums, watching everyone waste everyone else's time while everyone edits their tweets, blog posts, IM snippets, rearrange the columns on their web pages, stop to explain the big picture to the poor smuck with the smartphone who gets to see 10% of the screen real estate everyone with a widescreen monitor gets to see, ...

I swear Wave (assuming the Google People Down Under ever get it to work) will set back human communication by a thousand years.  It takes everything we do with HTML and Javascript right now, puts it in a blender and produces multi-coloured mush.  I can't tell you how many hours I've spent on conference calls where 20 or more people are staring at the same screen via Lotus Sametime, and if you try to make it a collaborative meeting instead of a one-way lecture, it will be a disaster.  And in the shorter video with the guy explaining how Wave can "transform" the concurrent insertion and deletion of characters in a client/server model, he says the main advantage of Wave is that you can interrupt each other.  Some progress!

Va salut,

Pe 30 septembrie Google a trimis 100,000 de invitatii (primul val de utilizatori Google Wave).

Din nefericire eu nu am primit invite ...

Ideea este aceiasi ca acum cativa ani cand Google a lansat Gmail ... cei care au primit invite pot invita pe altii la randul lor.

O sa fiu foarte recunoscator daca imi trimite si mie cineva un invite!

Va multumesc in avans.
