On 1st Part I described anticipations and first impressions of Google, and Wave. This has included a comparison with "E-mail first to disappointments. - The second part deals with the question now: if not e-mail ... What is it?
Google Wave is not an e-mail. And probably not "E-Mail 2.0"! - That sounds so incredibly simple ... but before I had accepted it, I was disturbed Wave. - Media have used this comparison. But he limps.
Before I would compare it to e-mail, I would say that it is a kind of multimedia wiki. For the possibility of change already written texts stands particularly striking. In addition, though an incredible number of opportunities to klickibunti-service-like manner to use. - And I mean that despite the negative connotation of the word as positive, for example, Mind Maps are more difficult to represent in ASCII. Likewise, google maps ... or similar ... Wave uses these elements ultimately meaningful as you want it.
still has the strongest wave to me before google Google Docs ("Writley.com" - now " Google Docs and Tables ") recalls. Even in Google Docs, you can jointly work on the same document. - In contrast to this wave is not optimized to exit, but on the Web - including all of its current social services and special offers.
Who is Wave because Google now? Google
Wave is a tool. Those who have no specific purpose for google wave will quickly find another purpose for it. If in doubt, provides the platform as a chat forum and it is very suitable! - All the nice little gadgets, plugins and bots ... all help to amuse himself while ... ! Yes, this is really good wave suitable!
... is only the innovation, the genuinely new, not in it. Is "to maintain nice," ... that create a lot of other networks also.
Google also has a high share of "social network": One has contacts - and sees when someone is online. The last real breakthrough of the social networking world managed perhaps the Twitter network. And actually, microblogging is a la Twitter, etc. just about the opposite of google wave: Starting with the mastery of the possibilities. Twitter is an ascetic of the possibilities - and so successful. Others probably because you can use such services without spending hours trying all the work. While Twitter-like services force you to reduce it to very short texts can be geschwafelt extensively in google wave. Non-moderated public Waves will see even after a relatively short period of demensprechend confused if you do not have to write eight are: (! And this is always possible) chaos through which one can then gets through only by the development of the Wave through the backing track going again and reconsidering.
And also provides the capabilities to Twitter as the opposite: Twitter itself may be integrated into Wave! ... Not difficult ... actually ... one must only look at once precise ... Likewise, Flickr, Facebook ... And what was that again with the integrated photo-sharing feature? Very easy (works in preview by the way ... not yet) - And the possibilities also end this far! - Contrary to the simplicity of the operation of micro-blogging networks - Google Wave: You have a problem! ... Because you can more than others! - For the many ways to seduce that you can all the same wants and then immediately noted that the 'big picture' will work only after some training!
productivity
If one leaves aside the fun area where you might hinschaut and productivity gains through new features, it remains to quickly in case of joint Work depend on the network in order to see this in more detail. A project for example. Even while typing or sketching can be thought about the comparison to be addressed / s and processed. - Would make of course faster than it may at a common table. New participants can be added - and private comments are interlaced for subgroups.
is at this point the real chance of Google Wave: Development, collaboration and multimedia exchange. What Google
wrote again what Wave is particularly suitable?
- organization Events
- meeting notes
- project
- sharing photos
The comparison made with e-mail sparked interest! - Because email is the standard electronic mass communication media for you. - Google Wave would actually be a replacement for Mail / Twitter / instant messenger / video telephony and so on available. Since here, however, have already developed other standards and habits, the service is as superfluous in these areas actually (as long as no new culture developed).
useful Google is right wave at first only for a minority of the population, namely for power project workers ... - Everyone else can their Fun in very different ways, have not yet need the service. His socks Wave stands out for more cooperation in various languages, computer systems and over long distances.
[The embedded video is visible on the original blog page .]
also offers it is particularly suitable for professional use. For example, a Google-Wave SAP Integration has developed. - In this case, we actually show that all the skills Wave actually very, very useful! - Employees of companies will certainly be well trained in it to use these tools!
So much for Part II - I will try perhaps in another part a few uses to pick out ...
