Google Wave Developer Preview - First Impressions
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.
