Message in a bottleExplicitly described as reinvention of emailGoogle Wave as tool to solve internal Google communication challenges, based on data from Gmail & Gchat – from the Google Maps developersRemember: engineers like efficiencyBut also remember: inventors don’t necessarily know what they’ve invented… trying to see what the uses are and testing the limits of the system

Treasure Beneath the WaveIdeas from Google (Lars):Ads“almost certainly” add Wave to Enterprise bundleAPIsThe following is my wild speculation:Google Wave as part of the Enterprise offer?Undersea ecosystem? (Wave apps store.)

No Overlapping WavesDeveloper’s Sandbox = WaveSandbox.com“Please keep in mind that WaveSandbox.com does not currently interoperate with users on wave.google.com”Separate form to request a developer account.Preview = wave.google.com (pre-beta)“much much more demand than capacity right now” - @twephanie, October 14, 2009Their major major focus is scalability and stability.Some of the features demoed in the sandbox are NOT available in the preview.

TerminologyWave = an entire discussionWavelet = subsection of a discussionBlip = individual “post”Extensions:Robot = software that can join as a “member” of a wave and act upon the wave’s contents (e.g. Rosy Etta translator bot)Gadget = “plug in” that you can add to a particular blip (e.g. Google Maps extension) – a further development of existing Google Gadgets
