Heya,

Does anyone have any invites to Google Wave?

funny, enough, I got an invite from google, haven't tried it yet. but thanks for the reminder, i'll give t a go and get back to you.

if its any good, might be a great thing to use to augment translation effort!

P.S: just opened it, only got 8 invites to give out, i'm willing to throw out four to anyone who p.m. me for it. so knock yourself out.

what is it exactly. brainstorming doesn't seem to cut it

It's basically a more powerful google document that's also a bit like chat. You can see your friends typing letter for letter without waiting for them to press the enter button, and you can comment on what they type as well. Other functions include group photo albums and interactive games. It might be useful for editors to comment on what translators have translated, or translators who are working on a novel together?

Basicially, google wave is an attempt to modernise email, redefine it for the new era. In all purposes its a cloud hosted real-time chat that has editing & revision change highlight functions. Its like a google chat window with wiki like functions. People you add an edit anything. Add anything to it and everyone joined to it will be able to see the changes and contribute, its always hosted so like email you can always leave it and return. Its kinda funky.all I know is that advantages over irc is that its all browser based (obviously) and infinity better then the java based irc client. But its never going to be as accessable as varity of sources that irc provides. But on the other hand its not exactly meant to compete with irc or other real-time chat programs....yet.

Well to honest have to test it first, but bit hard without someone to test it with, no one on my contact has it yet...anyone here one to give it a go?

Are you using it already?

So it's more of a fancier version of online collaboration programs many programmers are familiar with?

The fact that I can't use Opera for it is a real downside for me.

o_O. i feel like is sort of cheating and helping at the same time. if i actually type my homework on here (for editing thing) you guys will get a headache. my history teacher in college said my writing is so "atrocious" that he badly wants to fail me in class but i barely survived.

Sounds like a cheerful guy...

I would....if there was anyone with it to join in.

I mean I only get a pitiful eight invites...I mean it's not something I can throw about, can I?

If i had more ,I'll throw 'em out to all the editos/translators just to see what chaos they can cause and see how well this program handle a REAL collaboration outfit.

That's difficult to answer, I personally have only used engineering/CAD collaboration tools outside of wiki. But the experience of the google wave is like a real-time wiki format.

The only downside is that there is yet a app to be used on the Android mobile OS system, I suspect it'll appear in the future, but it's something promising considering Wiki can be a big buggy on chrome mobile browser..

As for opera, why the feck you using it Rectifier?
