Google Wave

When it only feels like yesterday that I first laid my hand on Gmail, there’s the next thing from Google which I believe will change how people look at communication and collaboration – Google Wave.

I get to know about Google Wave sometimes end of May 2009, which I straightly request an invitation. Google Wave was first made available to public on 30th of September. After patiently waiting for so long, finally I received invitation to preview Google Wave. Yippe!

Google Wave supported in Google Chrome, Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5 web browser. If you are using Internet Explorer, you need to install Google Chrome Frame first.

Well, this is my very first wave that I write in Google Wave. There’s just too much things to write about Google Wave features here. Just watch this video to get the idea about what Google Wave is.

The next thing that came to my mind is, will Google Wave works on iPhone? Well, not yet. But wait. There’s a link down there that asks me to go ahead if I want to continue accessing Google Wave at my own peril.

Surprisingly, Google Wave does load up on iPhone. Let’s look at the first wave that I wrote earlier.

Nice. It loads up too. But one thing that I noticed, it takes quite long to load, and my iPhone feels like freezing at a time. This is I guess when the faster processor of iPhone 3GS is required. At this very early stage, the Map Gadgets Extension is loadable on iPhone.

Lets view the welcome note wave that I got. Bummer! The YouTube video extensions is not loadable here.

“Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with”. I have 8 invitations that I can give out, which 2 have been reserved already. So, I have 6 invitations left to be given out now. If you are interested, just buzz me at the comment section. First come first basis.

Please remember to fill in your email when leaving the comment so that I can send you the invitation. No worries. The email that you left in the email field is not viewable by others.
