Google Wave review part 2: screencast, thoughts, examples and resources.

google wave

As Google Wave invites continue to spread like wildfire and more than just geeks are starting to explore Google Wave, I’ve seen an increase in the “what are your thoughts on Google Wave” questions. I’m humbled that individuals are interested in my thoughts about Google Wave, I’m also seeing a lot of consultants ask the same question, to see if I’m using Google Wave for any business/marketing use. Regardless, after spending a few days over the weekend to clean out my Google Wave inbox and do some research myself, I’m made a social bookmarking group of Google Wave resources. Also I recorded a video screen cast about how I’m using Google Wave now. Back to what are my thoughts on Google Wave and how I’m using it; here’s a list below.

  • I think Google Wave will replace Gmail in the years to come
  • I think Google Wave will be used by companies internally for communication and collaboration in the future
  • I think Google Wave will be a part of Google’s social network that will include Google Reader
  • I’m using Google Wave to collaborate on projects, where I upload files and brainstorm ideas in real-time with others
  • I think Google Wave will become more popular to use for note taking at conferences
  • I think Google Wave will be used to for training and webinars
  • I think Google Wave will find use in the media / entertainment industry but I don’t know how yet besides communication or a commerce buy and sale music system
  • I think Google Wave will become more social by integrating with Facebook and Twitter
  • I think Google Wave will be used as a video chat solution
  • I think Google Wave should be used with Google Chrome on Mac and windows for best performance.
  • I think there’s a slim chance we’ll see a Google Wave/ Chrome gadgets/extensions app store or just all listed on Google Gadgets site
  • I think I could be wrong about all of the above.
  • I think it’s to early to put limits on Google Wave or predict all the uses for it.

How are you using Google Wave? The comments talk.

A few days ago, I recorded a screencast of Google Wave and uploaded it to YouTube, then posted it here on Social Wayne. After the post a few lucky 100,000 users were granted access to Google Wave and reviews were written by both Louis Gray and Robert Scoble. As for the viewers of my screencast here on SocialWayne.com and YouTube it looks like they were left out but they still left comments about how they would use Google Wave. Below are a few of the comments.

I’m looking forward to it just from the POV of project management. The next level of desktop sharing for project management. Instead of multi-layering IM’s – it’s an all in one.

If I had a google wave invite, I would use to work with my training organization to collaborate on lesson materials and instructions. I also work with another non-profit and because i am in another state, I would use it for administrative projects, meeting minutes and program development collaboration. It is great, I just need to get more users to create a google account. Thanks for the? screencast Mr. Sutton, it’s nice to see a bro on here discussing tech work.

I believe this will be great way to collaborate projects. Atleast I’ll use primarily? for that.

That looks really cool. I’d use it for business primarily. It’d be great to coordinate the Google Wave collaboration features with a Skype call. Or, it’d be great? to have a video feature on Wave…

I think we could use this in the mortgage industry to show people live examples of their costs? I’d be worried about the security though – but I might see a way to use this in a practical business fashion… thanks

If I had a Google wave account I would use the account to stay in contact with fellow blogger’s in my niche and I would also you use Google wave as a documentation calibration tool with guest blogger’s for my site.

Evan Roberts said:
Not sure what I would do with Wave just yet, the concept of real-time editing of documents or whatever in the form of “conversation” is interesting though. Thanks for this screencast for those of us who weren’t cool enough for an invite lol

A Google Wave screencast – If you had an account, how would you use Google Wave?

Here’s a lite Google Wave screencast. I may not be the best person for a screencast on Google Wave but since it’s like “Wave” day I figured why not to show everyone what they’re missing or assuming what Google Wave is and can do. Regardless take a look at the screencast and let me know in the comments if you had a Google Wave account how would you use it?
