Still in San Francisco, the Googlers surprised us this morning again with the unleash of Google Wave. A practical implementation of HTML 5 features we enumerated yesterday.
The Google Wave is what I call the Gmail Killer. It takes the user experience far beyond what you get in Gmail (which has full Ajax capabilities and cool features in the Gmail labs). With Google Wave what you find is a better experience of collaborated email. So watch out for “Upgrade to GWave” button in your Gmail soon.
Realtime instant conversation is now possible with Google Wave. You dont have to wait for your buddy to type and press enter any longer, instead you see what he is typing instantly including all the backspaces and deletes he makes while he corrects his spelling errors. So you got to go improve your spelling.
This feature of instant converstation becomes even more interesting when a number of people edit one document instantly in a “real real time”.
The playback feature is always there for you as well if you miss anything or want to see what the other folks in the collaboration team have been up to while you were offline.
The “Context Spell Check” is awesome. It is intelligent enough to tell you if you misuse a word in a wrong context. It knows that it should be “Bean Soup” and not “Been Soup”
Of course, it (Google Wave) has support for extension so that developers can take advantage of the available APIs to build cool stuffs.
It’s impossible for you to get the feel of it here, so make sure you dedicate 80 minutes of your Friday night and “cloud conference” here.
What excites me most today is Google Wave’s 100% implementation in Google Web Toolkit (GWT); a signal for me to push on with the technology which I have embraced.
