Google Wave Video Contents

I watched the google wave video again tonight for the second time. Wow I love this product, platform and protocol! 

Since the YouTube video won’t allow annotations, I wanted to pick out the best bits so I could easily find them again, so I decided to create my own contents with time markers… so here is the contents and the approximate time markers, and some of my thoughts… I will do another blog post or two about things I love about Wave soon.

Wave video contents:

08:00 basic wave editing with spellchecker and offline message delivery

09:38 inline reply

11:50 private messages and adding people

13:20 playback the wave

14:46 private reply restrict access to a subset of the wave

15:22 adding photos to the wave and instant viewing of thumnails – never again issues with uploading photos (requires google gears)

31:40 a document view and playback include versioning and submit to the server and merge changes and source control integation – full document production – look out SharePoint!

35:33 synchronous editing with labels to see who is typing where – COOL!

37:20 right to left editing in the same wave as left to right editing and international text

40:19 organising waves – folders and saved searches and tags shared by all participants in the wave
