Google Wave as they say it, is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. It can both a conversation or a document for people to discuss and work together. They can use richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps and more. We have discussed every other thing you need to know about Google Wave including what it does, what are its features, who made it or what is special about it but at the end of the day, it seems that the whole thing is a digital popularity contest rather than people's real desire to have a whole new communication experience. Yes, Google gives us the technology for real-time language translation, online collaboration in real time and email, social networking and wiki and instant messaging under one roof, but the question is still the same, does people really need this? Just because we have the technology doesn't necessarily mean that we will use it. Let's get into some details to clarify what I am trying to say. Full article (766 words) »

Before people feel obnoxious about the rather ambitious title this article ventures through, I must put you to peace by this self-quote:

Behind every successful machine, there is a human, always watching.

I know you are lost in the mazes of correlating it to the title but, a well researched article from Wired may help you realize what seems to be less convincing unless you see the real objective in the future. Long entry short: Facebook can actually creep into the empire of Google by denying them what they do the best, show your project to the world and profit.

Let's just think for a second, Mark Zuckerberg says

Google is a top-down way of organizing the Web that results in an impersonal experience that stifles online activity. You have a bunch of machines and algorithms going out and crawling the Web and bringing information back, That only gets stuff that is publicly available to everyone. And it doesn't give people the control that they need to be really comfortable.

It seems today I am into two opposite motions for the same cause, Google. Just a while ago, we talked about how Google has become weary of Bing, but now, an interview of Sergey Brin to Jemima Kiss of Guardian is something that I should share with you coz it actually gives us a glimpse of how and why Google has gone that far and continues to move up the ladder despite the economic downturn. A Stanford University research project developed into a multi-billion-dollar phenomenon. It is quite astounding alright. But let's not get blown over with this rather, let's see the present side. How with a company of more than 20,000 people Google still innovates, moves fast and that too without imposing themselves on others , unlike most others.

Google is constantly upgrading and improving itself looking at the future of web with their kinds. In their endeavour of doing so, the latest innovation they showed us on Google Developers' conference at San Fransisco, is Google Wave. According to them,

A "wave" is equal parts conversation and document, where users can almost instantly communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. Google Wave is also a platform with a rich set of open APIs that allow developers to embed waves in other web services and to build extensions that work inside waves.

In other words, its a communication tool that consolidates features from e-mail, instant messaging, blogging, multimedia management, document sharing and wiki. It is indeed, though I shouldn't sound as a G-fanboy, one of the most ambitious and just-at-the-edge projects Google has put his hands on, ever. I will try to justify my assumptions below. Let's get to know the Wave first.
