Google Wave Video Contents

30 May 2009

I watched the google wave video again tonight for the second time. Wow I love this product, platform and protocol! 

Since the YouTube video won’t allow annotations, I wanted to pick out the best bits so I could easily find them again, so I decided to create my own contents with time markers… so here is the contents and the approximate time markers, and some of my thoughts… I will do another blog post or two about things I love about Wave soon.

Wave video contents:

08:00 basic wave editing with spellchecker and offline message delivery

09:38 inline reply 

10:34 synchronous real time communication

11:50 private messages and adding people

13:20 playback the wave

14:46 private reply restrict access to a subset of the wave

15:22 adding photos to the wave and instant viewing of thumnails – never again issues with uploading photos (requires google gears)

18:36 start of api’s

19:05 bloggy bot adding wave content to the blog

20:45 blog comments

23:17 orkut integration so what? replace orkut with facebook then it’s cool

23:26 wave on mobile devices

26:48 editing a wave including editing other peoples waves “discussion and content creation in one tool” including markup of edits “we never said lets start a document”

31:40 a document view and playback include versioning and submit to the server and merge changes and source control integation – full document production – look out SharePoint!

35:33 synchronous editing with labels to see who is typing where – COOL!

37:20 right to left editing in the same wave as left to right editing and international text

40:19 organising waves – folders and saved searches and tags shared by all participants in the wave

40:55 Wiki Waves – COOL! – watch out confluence (although it will be a while before it matches confluence enterprise features)

41:49 Search – cool! – “the wave dance”

43:21 start of extensions

43:58 spelling – spelly – COOL! natural language recognition of words, automatic correction “icland is an icland”

43:39 Links – linky

47:08 Searchy google search inside wave – bye bye evernote!

48:00 You Tube – demo failed

48:50 open social apps inside wave

49:25 movie times 

50:44 yes no maybe gadget

51:35 sudoku and chess including playback of gadgets – quite cool

52:40 google maps integration – real time zooming of google maps in both waves – COOL

52:29 real time markup of google maps – imagine the possibilities for real time markup of pdf documents or video or pictures

54:04 the YouTube example working

55:02 start of server side robots

55:19 new poll – Polly the Polster – forms inside a wave – fill them out collaboratively – options for answers, synchronous updates of graphs

57:25 installing a wave

58:05 Twitter – a Twave! including Stephanie showing her twitter password! (tab between fields not implemented yet). Proxy contacts on a different system. Includes twitter search – they were real time searching on google wave during the presentation. Use twitter searches like twitter alerts (probably similar to google alerts)

1:01:40 Buggy – real time integration between wave and the code.google.com issue tracker – COOL – Imagine real time integration with Jira or TFS

1:05:20 start of protocols

1:05:50 federation – any organisation can build thier own wave system. Open port for federation. Linking to other accounts on other wave servers.

1:08:13 Initech’s wave server – command line based – cool!

1:09:20 private replies across servers. Copies of the wave on both Initech’s and Google’s servers. Replies within the same server never leaves that server.

1:10:20 technical explanation of federation and open sourcing of the protocol

1:11:56 synchronous language translation Rosy the bot – the COOLEST!

1:14:05 applause and summary

1:17:36 URL’s for product, platform and protocol

    This breakdown was pretty useful. I’ve watched the video too a couple times and I wish I had done this after the 2nd time. One thing though… 40:55… wave wikis… I think it will be cool to tie this into Confluence. I doubt that this will aim to become a full blown wiki, but with all the openness and the ability to add plugins to confluence then this can certainly be a huge tool to add more collaborative features.
    BTW You have a bunch of nice articles here.
