Google Wave

Google recently introduced their new technology marvel Google Wave what will most likely be nick named Web 3.0 or something similar. Here is a 80 minute presentation that explains the phenomena:

For those that don’t want to waste 80 minutes watching the video here are small excepts from LifeHacker:

Inline Replies

First the simple stuff. Google says Wave is what email would be if it were invented today, so it looks a whole lot like Gmail. But all editing and commenting happen on a single copy of a given wave (that is, message or document). You can comment on a wave below it, or inline. Check it out.

As-You-Type Live Updates Over the Internet Between Users

Thanks to the new HTML 5 standard and some client-server magic Wave has going on, you can watch your recipient live-type a response in your browser across the internet, much like instant messaging. (If that gives you the creeps, you’ll have the option to disable live as-you-type updating.)

Wave Revision Playback

When you add someone to a Wave after it’s been chopped up, commented on, and edited by others, that person can see the evolution of that wave using the super-cool playback feature. Imagine watching Wikipedia page revisions happen in sequence. Here’s a taste of playback in Wave.

Private Replies

Like a group email you forward to an individual person to have a “private” conversation, you can restrict access to a sub-Wave to certain people.

Embed Waves into Web Pages

Bloggers will go nuts for this: you can embed waves in web pages and collect replies and edits to those waves in your Wave client, as well as on the page itself.

Live Collaboration on a Single Wave

Several people can edit a wave at the same time and watch one another’s cursors dance across the page as it happens.

Live-Updating Search Results

Keyword search results live-update as others type, too.

Contextual Spellcheck

This was the ultimate OMGPONIES! moment for me in the Wave demo. Using a natural language model, Google Wave’s spellchecker makes smart corrections based on the context of your word. For example, Google Wave auto-corrects the sentence “Icland is an icland” to “Iceland is an island.” (Guess all those billions of web pages can really come in handy.)
