I'm converting a blogger blog to a Wordpress and if there is a Wordpress API of Google Wave, surely I will use it.

I saw a demo which showed Google Wave running a lynx-like interface. Was it indeed running in lynx? "Looks good in lynx" is high praise for a contemporary web app IMHO.

As I understand it, they are not hooking in to email in an effort to avoid spam (though I suspect a robot or extension would allow it before long). That said, at least for sending emails, you can copy and paste... yeah, not great, I know, but it is a workaround.

Hi
I have created a google wave robot but donot know how to test it.
As per my knowledge a robot needs to be called via a wave and a wave can be created only via sandbox.
I have requested for an acccess to the sandbox but havent got the access.
Is there some way by which i can test the robot without the sandbox access

Ben, Thank you for this insight on the Google Wave, according to your Wavetour, how do you see it transform, involve or add value to crowdsourcing model and platform?

Hey Ben,

Here's something that may interest you. You and Pete partly inspired it with your work on Google Wave. Great 3 articles so thanks. Plus Brian Solis' discussion of the Twitterverse. It's too long to post here. Hope all's well, Simon. "Powers of Ten" for the Twitterverse. http://adjix.com/6m9x

Felt a bit lightweight did this review, but then I just read TechCrunch's first. TC seem to have had a later version of Wave - or is Mashable just more honest with its faults?

Basically, there are huge questions over this, but DAMN it has potential! Very exciting stuff.

It looked to me that they used Chrome, Safari and Firefox in the demo presentation. You don't need to use Chrome, but you can.

Even if it's not a core feature a public wave will only be as difficult as dragging in a robot to manage the publishing (like the blogger in the demo). There is no reason why this couldn't allow anonymous comments but this immediately invites spam such as any anonymous comment system.

The entire thing is open-source. You can build any extension on top of it.

How funny, that was one of the ideas that I had, and I was thinking about public waves too! It would be beneficial in a lot of contexts.
Invitation requests would be helpful too, but that's all of the ideas I want to give out for now.

The stable version of Chrome was significantly improved recently, so perhaps you should give it another try. Even if you don't want to use it for your primary browser, you could use it simply for Wave.

Will there an way for app developers to build their own additions? An open API kind of thing...

I can't wait for the wave to be released offically and for us to get our hands on their API!

I am already thinking up a perfect project which I can use all these features for! A very productive one too may I add :)

Hmn, sounds like it could have some potential. It will be interesting to see how it will be received once it's launched. I think it's a little too early to tell, though; it could go either way! It definitely seems like something worth trying -- and definitely fun testing!

so...when this thing make sit big and we all start using as at our primary form of cummonication, how will we get our old email plugged into google wave?

public waves sound good but do you know if it'll be possible to set them to allow editing without login too? - for anonymous commenting

Good overview of Google wave, but was wondering if anyone thought whether or not it would really be the next big social media thing. It takes a lot of time and effort now to keep up with Linked In and Twitter and Facebook. Should I get into Wave or should I for go it for the time being?
