I'm wondering lately if the release has taken away critical momentum for the platform though. Or maybe I'm not part of the cool waves; seems pretty nigh useless right now. The API and the open source version will be critical pieces; I suppose federation will be key too. They say that's coming soon.

Not everyone I know will be waving and I'll still need to email about. This would be a functional way of also alerting recipients of emails received from Google Wave users about Google Waves existence and offering them a way of moving to it!

I expect that developers will build Wave clients to make it fit the standard email/inbox interface to help ease the transition.

As with any other new technology, there's going to be a learning curve. I found the potential implications of this fascinating.

Otherwise, where's the value to anyone who wants to use Wave for secured communications? Obviously this is speculation, but I think it must.

I wonder if the open sourced wave server tech can do search? If not, maybe all our data still belongs to Google.

After working with OpenSocial, we already know the code will be a bit iffy. Still, the extension framework is the key part. As long as it's stable, we can build robots and gadgets and get a feel for how it works.

I see a lot of promise right now. But again, no one has code in hand yet.

I watched the 1:20 Google I/O session on youtube. First, let me say I was very impressed by the idea and the technology, but I have some reservations:

- Are people ready for a product like Wave? Many people are struggling to cope with basic Web 2.0 concepts and Wave takes it a step further. Not sure how it will be perceived by the non-geeks in the near future.

- It is not just a beta in the Google sense of the word. It looks less than an alpha to me. I think there is a long way to go before I would commit to using the product. During the demo there were bugs, page refreshes required and functional omissions.

- I wonder what network impact of wave will be. In a large company with constant updates between multiple wave subscribers. Is this going to be an issue?

Fast forward 6 months and I hope all my doubts are unfounded. I can't wait to have an interface like wave. :)

Cheers

Tim…
