Google Wave使用感想
昨天终于拿到盼望已久的Google Wave邀请了，首先要感谢阿宏的帮忙，呵呵。你拿到手我就赶紧试用了一下。
首先看一下维基百科上关于Google Wave的介绍：
Google Wave，按照Google 2009年5月27日在Google I/O上的說法是「一種個人通信和協作工具」。它是一個基於Web的服務，計算平台和通信協定，旨在合併電子郵件，即時信息，wiki和社交網絡，由悉尼分公司開發。目前已开始小范围公测[1]。它有一個強大的實時協作和強大的拼寫檢查功能，可以自動翻譯40種語言，以及許多其他的擴展。Google 2009年7月20日在官方博客宣布，在2009年9月30日，測試Google Wave的用戶數將擴大到約100,000。
Google官方的介绍：
There are tons of ways to use Google Wave–here are just a few examples to get you thinking and an overview video that shows Google Wave in action.
Organizing events
Keep a single copy of ideas, suggested itinerary, menu and RSVPs, rather than using many different tools. Use gadgets to add weather, maps and more to the event.
Sample event planning wave
Meeting notes
Prepare a meeting agenda together, share the burden of taking notes and record decisions so you all leave on the same page (we call it being on the same wave). Team members can follow the minutes in real time, or review the history using Playback. The conversation can continue in the wave long after the meeting is over.
Sample meeting notes
Group reports and writing projects
Collaboratively work in real time to draft content, discuss and solicit feedback all in one place rather than sending email attachments and creating multiple copies that get out of sync.
Sample project
Brainstorming
Bring lots of people into a wave to brainstorm – live concurrent editing makes the quantity of ideas grow quickly! It is easy to add rich content like videos, images, URLs or even links to other waves. Discussion ensues. Etiquettes form. Then work together to distill down to the good ideas.
Sample brainstorm
Photo sharing
Drag and drop photos from your desktop into a wave. Share with others. Use the slideshow viewer. Everyone on the wave can add their photos, too. It is easy to make a group photo album in Google Wave.
呵呵，野心很大：SNS + Wiki + IM + Email + Doc，从这个定位可以看出，gwave就是一种混合新型服务。人们第一句总是问gwave是什么，每次被问到这个问题我都感到一阵语塞。我的理解是他可以作为一款企业内部协同工具，他的优势在于免费、快速反应、协作和沟通方便，但就我目前使用来看，它也有很明显的劣势：信息更新过于频繁、编辑功能远不及Word以及响应速度。不过我觉得Google公司，作为一家上市公司，它似乎忘了自己是要盈利的。。。
