Comments on: Google Wave. What Gives? http://www.1955design.com/2009/12/03/google-wave-what-gives/ Accessible Website Design & Custom WordPress Blog Themes Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:40:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Arnie Widdowson http://www.1955design.com/2009/12/03/google-wave-what-gives/comment-page-1/#comment-21913 Arnie Widdowson Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:15:55 +0000 http://www.1955design.com/?p=932#comment-21913 David, Wave is an textual collaboration improvement, but is it a dramatic improvement? The drama, I am convinced, is in the desire for better collaboration mechanisms. Web based whiteboards are a promising start although they are now fairly primative. Most are just scribble boards. They get very crowded and noisy, but they have potential. I’m an advocate of next generation web whiteboards. Voice and Webcam, drag and drop documents and graphics from the desktop to the whiteboard. Edit and interact in parallel – and in real time. With the introduction of graphical user interface (GUI) components, whiteboards will change dramatically. With windows that can be minimized and assets stowed in folders, the familiar and powerful desktop metaphor will come to collaboration. Also, with team participation the space can be organized, huge, deep and rich. David,
