In this month Google will start sending 100,000 of invites for the early test of Google Wave. (counting days)
The real-time communication platform has captured the imagination of countless communication, social media, and tech enthusiasts that want to get their hands on its game-changing features. It can import Twitter, provide real-time chat, play back past conversations, and even allows for drag-and-drop file uploads.
Its really good news for googlers 🙂
We have been monitoring the progress of Wave with our developer accounts, and we have to say: it’s come a long way. When I first used it, I experienced multiple crashes per session and the interface would bug out. And while these things still happen when I use Wave, the instances are far more sporadic.
Google has also been constantly informing developers of its updates to Wave. Today in fact, they just released a new update, codename “ChooChoo.” Here’s what was just added, according to the Wave team:
– Gadget insertion button in the editor toolbar (don’t need to use the Debug menu anymore!)
– Strikethrough button in the editor
– The extension management system has been upgraded (meaning any extensions you had previously installed will need to be re-installed)
– Minimized Waves will now flash green when new content is entered into the Wave
(if you are curious, a lot of the current work is moving towards improving our OT infrastructure, it isn’t something that will be obvious, other than the editor will be more robust)
