Full video of Google Wave live at Google IO
29 May2009
The initial audience response to Google Wave was huge; there was a standing ovation the likes of which haven’t been seen at any tech event.
According to the Technologizer, Google has published a video of this morning’s demo of Wave–which aims to be what e-mail should be and meld it with IM, allow for real-time document sharing, provide instant photo sharing, revolutionize spell checking, provide on-the-fly translation, and allow developers to either build on top of the service or replace it with their own underpinnings, among other things. It’s an hour and twenty minutes long, and doesn’t get through all the things one might want to know about Wave.
There is a video which is of great interest to me at least:

After watching this video what you are thinking? Well I was thinking when it will be here..?
Among the many interesting questions about Wave is this: Is it bloatware? It’s not ready for release yet, and it appears to already be bursting at the seams with features.
Other questions were asked as well like:
Another question asked was this does Gmail and Google Docs one better. Will Wave be the evolution of both or a replacement? Vic replied to it as this is an early developer release of our Wave, but we’ll see this over several products/services/sites.
Will it replace email? Lars replied to it as
we think of email as an incredibly successful protocol. Google Wave is our suggestion for how this could work better. You can certainly store your own copy by way of the APIs and with the extensions. The model for ownership — it’s a shared object, so how do you delete the object? Even though it’s a shared object, no one can take it away from you without your consent. There will eventually be reversion to sync up with the cloud or you own servers. We’re not planning on having spam in wave (laughs). Early on in email, spam wasn’t really taken into account, so we benefit from that learning experience. We’re planning on a feature so that you can’t add me to your Wave without being on a white list.
How it will be integrated with the Gmail or other Google services? Lars replied as Again, it’s very early for us. When you sign up for Google Wave, it’s your Google account, you’ll have your Google Contacts, etc.
How interoperable will it be — how open source? Lars replied as: the developers can choose completely. We’re using the most liberal license to open source our code.
