Love it or hate it, Google Wave is proving to be a great way for people to express themselves creatively in the form of videos. We’ve seen it with Pulp Fiction and Good Will Hunting. We’ve seen it with the Declaration of Independance. And now we have a 2009 year-in-review Google Wave video.
There’s not much to say other than this is really well done. It was created by Whirled Interactive, the same group that made the movie Waves. These guys are good.
Sure, this isn’t as serious as using Wave for a manhunt, or even as a new form of communication. Nor does it make Google Wave any easier to explain. But it is an interesting form of entertainment. And a quick tech-way to recap the year.
“Information overload” is a term coined by Alvin Toffler which refers to an excess amount of information being provided, making processing and absorbing tasks very difficult for the individual because sometimes we cannot see the validity behind the information.
Spot on.
Apart from these ‘coo look what I can do’ videos, are there any real applications of this technology out there.
From what I have seen so far, I wouldn’t want to use it as it looks like a techno mess.
Okay I must say the vid is cool, but it looks like a far-version of the flame wars video we have seen before. If you’ll ask the users if they’ll choose which is which I bet they’ll go not for this vid but for this one-> http://bit.ly/flame-wars-video
collegerumor rocks!
Yeah, for sure, this video should be viewed in slo-mo for better assimilation!
That was a great video. Good use of wave.
Its a shame; this is yet more confusing Wave related propaganda that I’m sure is doing Wave as a Technology and it’s actual applicability to the future of the Web no favors at all. I do wonder if Google love or hate this kind of press?
Good use of Google Wave…said thats the only thing Wave is good for….making videos of a timeline….haha
I’d second that.
I’ve yet to see any legitimate use for Google Wave. If I wanted a clunky IM platform that requires all my friends to be on the same service, I’d just go back to AIM.
Wave has practical applications especially in Corporate environment & in Project Management. It’s a matter of time before we see its usage picking up.
It’s little complex in the first, but will surely get traction when used often & used collaboratively.
I absolutely love, and develop on, the latest and greatest as much as I can.
That being said, I just can’t get into Google Wave, not even a little…it;s just way too clunky, way too slow, way too “everything” that’s not a good web app. I can see the stretch for it being a good team collaboration tool, but as a team lead and business owner, I will be using other tools.
I have a developer account and user account that are virtual paper weights, I have no use for them.

..flash-in-the-pan. as someone else mentioned, watching someone type in RT is as exciting as watching paint dry.
GW demo is a nice proof of concept with little practical value..
nice video but should be a lil bit slower than this for more understanding
