Hi Does anyone know anything about Google Wave?
From what I gather its going to be like a rich content twitter.
You can post text (like twitter) plus other content like photos & videos.
No links its easier for you to Google …. Google Wave.
Cool if we could have one or two plugins for sending and/or embedding content/widgets.
Got to be a good thing as most textpattern users are rich content publishers.
One downside I found this question being asked :-
Is there a way to tell if a blip is inside parent, or it follows parent?
Hi. And if it is inside parent - how to get its insertion position? Are such properties available?Oh well I found it funny in a “self-conscious geeky” kind of way?

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

I became much more interested in it after reading a wired article. I requested access but haven’t heard anything yet.

Re: Hi Does anyone know anything about Google Wave?
I must be getting old. I totally don’t get it ;-) Mind you I never understood why anybody would give a toss about my life on Twitter. For example:
- 12:33 Stef is mostly eating an egg baguette
- 12:34 Stef has crumbs in his lap
- 12:34 Stef also has crumbs in his keyboard
- 12:34 drat
- 12:35 Stef is vacuuming his keyboard with a mini dust buster
- 12:35 ssdddfghghngbhnjmghjuioyuiweeeewsxzxxcokiplyhghn
- 12:37 Stef now has custard smeared up his face
- 12:37 om nom nom nom nom
- 12:38 Thtef admidth thith ith a dam foin — ifata laj — cuthter flice
- 12:38 Stef probably shouldn’t type with his mouth full
- 12:39 Stef admits this is a damn fine — if a tad large — custard slice
- 12:39 Stef is considering purchasing a pelican bib or tarpaulin for tomorrow lunch time
- 12:39 Stef has decided against a twitter account
- 12:40 Stef thinks it should be called twatter

I was just about to say same :) I like old school mailing lists, internet relay chat and all those really flexible things that anybody can easily use, with out any sort of complex clients.
Twitter is quite nice too, in a sense. I like how you can easily put one-liners into web or announce something. Bad thing is that nobody reads tweets, all just put em there. You can ofcourse integrate it to your desktop or website, but you can just put the content there, no need for twitter for it.
Maybe this is just one of those things that are meant for ppl that want to kill some time. No real reason, just time killing. Fill the empty space with a brainless zombie killing action called Tweeting. Bottom line is, good marketing can make anything big.
Have you ever felt that a received real hand written letter is, like, a real treasure…

I have some ‘nominations’ free. They call them that rather then ‘invites’ like there was with Gmail. It seems they add nominations to a cue and invite them when their ready for another level of expansion. Let me know here if you want a ‘nomination’.
