We were recently granted access to the Google Wave Developers Sandbox and are testing out our first Google Wave Embed on this blog for everyone to see!!!
Ok, we kinda lied, but it’s not our fault. Everyone can’t see this, thanks to Google’s developer rules, but you lucky few who have access to the developer’s sandbox (sorry again, that’s not the same as the Wave Preview) can see this and I’d love to hear how you’re using it. Comment down below, in the Wave, and share you’re cool implementations, extensions and ideas.
For everyone else, you can get a little taste of what the developers are up to over at the Google Wave Samples Gallery. There’s all kinds of cool extensions and bots for sites like Craig’s List, Twitter and IMDb. And everyone, please share you’re thoughts about Google Wave, the Preview and the Developer activity in the comments section below.
Update: Wave is dead. RIP. May some of its innovative features live on elsewhere.

Public View of Google Wave
I’ve heard a lot of prominent tech pundits, out of the 100,000 lucky people to get invites in the first week of Google Wave, say that it’s a disappointment. Because I see this as the logical next step in communication, affecting everyone online, I chose to disagree. Remember the first time people heard of computers, text messages or Twitter? Many were like, “ok, I understand what it basically does, but why would I need it?” However, these things all offered unique forms of communication and eventually people eventually found uses for them.
I just received my invite last night and while there wasn’t a lot for me to do in there right now, I still see it as an amazing (and free) way to collaborate with people. There are ways this could impact almost every business, industry and person’s communication habits. Imagine for a second how you could use the video and image uploading, text collaboration and especially the timeline feature for planning your next ad campaign with people located in different cities. If you already have a Wave account and don’t know what I’m talking about, then go to the “new wave” area at the top and type in “with:public”. This will let you see all the public waves taking place at any given time. Explore a little and let me know what your thoughts are in the comments section of this blog.
