Lars Rasmussen, Software Engineering Manager, explained Wave: “It’s a communication and collaboration tool we’ve been working on for a couple of years down in Sydney.
“A Wave is a single shared space where two or more users can exchange real time dialogue, photos, videos, maps and documents in what we call a Wave. Everyone can reply to a Wave, people can come and go and you can drag and drop information from all over the web.”
From around weeks, I am getting regular emails from my readers regarding help stuff on Google Wave, and this made me to make a FAQ post about Google Wave on my blog.
Today on iTechnOBuzz, I am about to post an idiot guide about google wave figuring out nearly all FAQ about Google Wave.
Google Wave is a new way to make contacts with friends and people and collaborate on documents and could completely replace email.
Starting the Wave FAQ part:
- What exactly are these “Waves“?
A wave is best compared to a conversation in an instant messenger, but in the case of a wave, you can chat to yourself or to a whole group of people.
Each wave contains a subwave called a ‘wavelet’, which focuses on a particular aspect of the main wave, and can be manipulated in much the same way. This means one wave can branch out into a number of other waves, but keep all the original associations.
This may not sound like a killer feature from the outset, but if you subscribe to a mailing list or want to bracket multiple wavelets within the same project wave, then this is a much more elegant solution.
- Isn’t Google Wave much of a kind of stuffs allready included in instant messagng services like Google Talk?
By coincidence, waves are actually built on the same Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) that Google Talk uses, but they deal with much more than just instant messaging.
Each wavelet contains entries, known as ‘blips’, posted by the various collaborators, extension apps, or even automated robots you converse with. These can contain anything, including text and video, and mean that your wave becomes diverse and dynamic, with content that’s constantly updated, either from an external source or your fellow collaborators.
- How can I embed other documents and files under this system?
Waves have full support for you to drag and drop files, text snippets or any web content. This will automatically be added to your document as a blip. This makes things much more interactive. As expected, you can also embed other Google services such as calendars, YouTube video, Picasa images and so on into your waves.
- Tell me the fun part of “Wave“.
The best 3 things regarding fun on Google Wave I came up with are the instant messaging addons features from a web browser like:
Chat and Share, Play Games with mates, Collaborate documents on conference level, check out some of the exciting screenies from Google Wave:

PLAY GAMES: You can drag in information from the web and comment as you go

ACCEPT OR DECLINE: Meeting request or BBQ invite - you can collaborate with your mates or colleagues on events and chat about them in your Wave

CHAT AND SHARE: Look at pictures, then talk about them - you can drop into the conversation at any point

EDIT CONCURRENTLY: You'll see updates appear letter-by-letter, while you can see everything happen in realtime
- What if I don’t want someone to collaborate on my documents?
As a document creator, only the people you explicitly specify as collaborators can alter your work. You can remove collaborators at any time and cycle back through the changes they might have made. These features make waves a little more robust for enterprises who may find that disgruntled employees sabotage work before leaving.
However, its usefulness isn’t limited to big business – it will also come in handy for you if someone in the group of friends that you’re collaborating with disagrees with the general consensus, and starts changing things in their own way.
- “ROBOTS” now where do they came from?
Developers can program robots that create blips and respond in particular ways to content in other waves and external websites. They can even respond to you sending them messages, which means you can ask your robot for the latest sports scores and be told instantly.
The API provides Java and Python bindings, so if you found Nick Veitch’s tutorials on building a Python bot particularly interesting, you’ll be able to apply your skills here to integrate your favourite services. To include your robot in any wave, just add it as a collaborator, and off you go.
- The stuff on this post made me excited about Google Wave , where could i find more about it now?
This post is merely a collection of few Questions asked frequently from my friends and my readers. If you want to learn more about Google Wave, I would suggest you to go through some great articles like an excellent blog post on mashable which is an in-depth guide providing an overview of Google Wave, discusses the terminology associated with it, details information on Google Wave applications. Plus a guide on techradar, that covers up All things you need to know about Google Wave.
