So, first... Protocol

• Protocols are rules for communication

• Our “network” is built on a protocol: IP

• Our “web” is built on a protocol: HTTP

• Our “mail” is built on a protocol: SMTP

• Our “chat” is built on a protocol: XMPP

So what else is there?

• Our “network” works pretty well now

• Our “web” gets versions now like Web 2.0

• Our “mail” is well... still just “mail”

• Our “chat” isn’t always XMPP because AIM, Yahoo, MSN, came before XMPP

• And now...

WAVE!!!!• Easy there...

• Did you watch the Wave demo video?

• There are a few things to keep in mind

Quick History Lesson

• First web server: 1989 (or thereabouts)

• And here we are...

• Email is even older

Why is Wave different?• Communication cocktail

• Living Documents

• Live Conversation

• Web Clipping

• Real People

• Robot Overlords

• Shaken not stirred

• collaboration

• language aware

• extensible

• federated by design

• the first “new” thing in a very long time

Where is Wave?

• Currently hosted just like Google Apps

• Limited to developers and “invites”

• The client is still closely held by Google

• Federation status:

• Reference examples available

• Vibrant discussions and events underway
