An Overview Of Google Wave From The Google Wave Team

September 30, 2009  | 

100K Google Wave invites went out today and there are a lot of people wondering what it is, what it’s for and what it can do. Here’s an 8 minute video from the Google team that answers those questions and provides some visual walkthroughs of the main features. I haven’t gotten on this thing yet, but I find it *super interesting* that the team highlights the Twitter extension that effectively turns wave into a full on Twitter client in the demo. That ought to shake things up quite a bit.

  • The initial reaction from the alpha geeks that I've seen suggests the
    latter. When the alphas are saying "it's too complicated" there's something
    wrong, because those are usually the people that naturally spend the time
    necessary to become proficient. It's not common that Google releases a
    product that isn't well received, so this is a bit of a surprise. Still,
