Google Wave

I finally received my invitation to participate in the Google Wave Beta. I’ll be experimenting with it’s collaboration tools and posting updates to my website. In the meantime, if you have a Google Wave account, then you can check out some of the Waves I am participating in below.

Thanks to Lucas Caro for creating the Wavr WordPress Plugin so users can now embed Google Waves into posts.

I’ve decided for now to hold off on Google Wave. The program runs incredibly slow on my G5 PowerPC tower. I will have to do further testing on my macbook pro. So far, I’m not impressed with Google Wave. I have found too many redundancies in the UI to appreciate what I think it could truly offer. I may create a case study to examine the current beta version and how I might rework the design.
