Neil Phillips’ blog

So, I watched through the Google Wave Video and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. Maybe not quite as impressed as the Google I/O audience, but impressed nonetheless.

My highlights were:

the ntalk style asynchronous conversations (/email/documents), and the whole federated distribution model which makes it possible.

Document component building - so difficult to do now with existing (Word) docs - basically allowing groups of people to edit sub documents, and then automatically building these into master documents on the fly

The Robot APIs - The two demoed were great, but conceptually, the extension model for Wave makes the app very compelling. I wonder whether Spelly will automatically include people in your address book as acceptable words?, and just how good is Rosy etta ? (it looked pretty damn good).

Looking forward to downloading the code and building our first server.
