Wave

Hi, I can not clearly tell you why, but I am pretty sure that Google Wave will become a really important player in the Web 2.0 / collaboration market.

  • They plan to open-source the whole thing -> This gives developers confidence
  • They will host the server as well -> This lets developers start easily
  • They thought about merging asynchronous + synchronous communication
  • They have the notion of robots to automate behaviour
um

    Now I got it: Google Wave is bringing shared memory (represented as a stream of unicode characters plus XML open/close tags) to the browser.

    The achilles heel is the data-model. The sample code seems to parse from and serialise to a single sequence. Whenever the sequence changes, it must be reparsed. Therefore, Google Waves is a good choice only for small to medium size data models.
