pretty cool although they drew out the presentation too long and the claps were too forced at some times. They should have pushed it into a 40 min clip for ted.

It took me signing on to twitter today, to hear about "google wave" and then to search on it. This could easily be an over looked thread.

Watch the video folks, a bit drawn out, but worth watching.

This looks really really sweet! This will be great for the collaboration on office files.

samhail · 30-05-2009, 15:09

yeah impressive.

I just got to see the last 20 minutes today. The translation on the fly is really impressive, will open up worldwide business even further.

The drag and drop for pictures is a great idea. I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen people trying to attach pictures from their pc and not get it right.

I really like how when you post a wave somewhere (like the blog) it automatically gets updated. Hopefully they manage to add some other cool features to this.

That style of presentation is just horrible for me to watch. It is in that Apple "we are just so smug and smooth, clap for me like monkeys in the zoo" type of way.

People acting how they think people with passion for something act. It is almost like they are trying to copy someone like Tony Robbins, and failing.

Wave does look impressive however, it can not come soon enough.

Very interesting product indeed but did they need to call it Wave lol. The presentation style was pretty bad tho as I imagined "clap now" cards being held up to the audence

EKRIUQ · 31-05-2009, 16:43

That presentation was terrible, boring and tedious. Seems a good concept but only when testing is done will we really know how great it is.
