12.14.09I’m Dumping My Blog for Google WaveWhen I first started blogging in 2006 or so, I loved the idea of being able to have conversations with people all over the world, many of whom I didn't even know existed. It's served me really well in that respect, I've met a ton of people and developed my most important online social network. I have several relationships in the real world that developed because of blogs. Then Twitter came along, and was all real-timey and stuff. It's fun. It feels like a cocktail party. I can blurt out things that I think would make funny fortune cookies and ...

11.15.095 Impressive Real-Life Google Wave Use CasesThe Google Wave invite rollout extravaganza started more than a month ago. While in some respects the buzz around Google Wave has started to subside, the term is still constantly one of the top trending topics on Twitter, and new gadgets, extensions, and applications are now starting to appear on a daily basis. Each day more and more people are opening up their email inbox to find an invite to Google Wave. With that shiny new invite comes the inevitable quest for ideas about to how to put the medium to good use. Should you happen to be one of those people, ...

10.12.09Google Wave And The Dawn Of Passive-Aggressive CommunicationWe’re now a little over a week into the extended roll-out of the preview build of Google Wave. This is an important time for the service because many people can now finally start using it as they eventually may — which is to say, with their friends and colleagues. Of course, the backlash is also already in full-swing, as expected. But I can’t help but wonder if this backlash and the hype that it is a byproduct of, is blinding some to the larger picture. Google Wave is not just a service, it is perhaps the most complete example yet ...

10.11.09Looming Disruptions to the Software IndustryI view a major shift in technology, like the one that I see materializing right now with Google Wave (the protocol), as a huge object crashing into a an existing landscape. There's this massive change right in the middle, a new space that has to be filled, and then all these fissures spidering out from the main event where the rest of the world is affected by that event--new spaces that must be filled with something. One of the fun things about technology disruptions is trying to figure out what the landscape will look like after the main event. It's those ...

10.01.09Google Wave: Do You Think It Will Succeed?We’re just a few hours away from the launch of Google Wave. Later tonight, a flood of invites for Google Wave will permeate the web, and around 100,000 early adopters will become part of Google’s real-time communication tool. Heck, Wave is so hot right now that people are trying to buy themselves invites on eBay already. Still, something being hot doesn’t mean it’s going to be successful. For every Google and Facebook, there’s a Cuil and Pets.com story to match. We’ve already pondered whether the world is ready for Google Wave, but we want to take that ...

09.24.09A Vision of a Post-Wave InternetThis is a follow up to my last post about Google Wave, er, XMPP. That post generated a ton of commentary and questions, and my goal here is to address a lot of them, as well as take a stab at outlining what a post-Wave Internet looks like to the average person. First, there were STILL some questions about why exactly Wave and XMPP are so cool. Well, the short answer to that is that the guys working on Wave did a number of things right.The Conversation The first thing they got right is the concept of a “conversation". This is not some ...

09.17.09Google Wave: You need to pay attention to this.So here's the deal with Wave: If you deal in technology, and you get this one wrong, you'll miss the boat. And it's a big boat. If, on the other hand, you get this one right, you have the potential to do some incredible innovation.In a nutshell, this is the next revolutionary leap in Internet application architecture. Maybe the first truly revolutionary leap since HTTP itself.I've been wanting to write this post for a while, but first I wanted to read fully thru and digest the specs and available code. I haven't done any posts about XMPP for quite a ...
