I\u2019m hoping to get a bit more involved with it at the weekend, so may have some more feedback next week!<\/p>\n
First impressions are good. The interface is slick, and easy to use. I\u2019ve managed to pull my Twitter feed in, watched the 8 minute video on the potential uses (which I must say looks very impressive) and had a play around with a few waves and some of the apps, as well as dragging images into waves from my desktop (which is very nice!).<\/p>\n
One thing I\u2019m very keen to investigate more is Wave\u2019s ability to integrate into other sites\u00a0as a publishing tool. The intro vid shows it being done, but doesn\u2019t cover how…<\/p>\n
I think there\u2019s definitely some great potential here. Collaborating on a document is nothing new admittedly, but it\u2019s the way wave handles being able to add notes, diagrams, images, videos (and whatever else\u00a0you might want to add) that makes it stand out.\u00a0I can see it being used a lot for brainstorming sessions becuase you can chuck anything in it and everyone can see it. (Stinky white board pens will soon be a thing of the past!) .<\/p>\n
It would also be beneficial in conference call situations. All conference call attendees could be in on the wave, which would initially contain an agenda. This could then be built out with notes, and files that need to be shared,\u00a0a map to a location (if you\u2019re arranging a meeting) and so on.<\/p>\n
Anyway I feel like right now I need a colleague to share this experience with to make the most of it, so I\u2019m hoping that Google sees this and gives me an invite or two to send out to my fellow Coasties. *HINT HINT*<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Well, I had almost given up hope of receiving a Google Wave invite when – lo and behold – a good friend of mine emailed me.
