Google Wave Developer Preview - First Impressions

October 22nd, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in General, Tech, Web Development

At last I got my Google wave account activated yesterday, but it didn’t carry any additional invites that can be passed on to others. Its a bit tricky if it doesn’t carry additional invites, since you wont be able to share and evaluate this technology with others. Please take a look at some of the Screenshots of Google Wave.

The Wave API will allow plug-in developers to develop extensible plug-ins. Sudoko plug-in was quite interesting. So was the Google Maps plug-in, the live connectivity was just too good.

On a overview, Google wave seems to show the light of how the next generation of communications will look like. This technology has the prospect to replace email altogether (am i hyping it too much ??). But on an overview i am not able to define Google wave properly, yes it is a collaboration platform, but its a mix of email, instant messaging, blogs and other things. I will not term Google wave as a social networking platform/tool, because this is more sort of a communications platform, more to do with interactions and collaboration, and real time information exchange (more reason being, it could attract an access ban by employers, if termed so.. he he :) ). I will take a look at API’s now, and will try to post if i am able to build something out of it.
