Google has unveiled a new program called "wave" at the google IO. The program was written by Lars Rasmussen who previously created Google Maps.
This is a new way to look at e-mail. Waves is a little like e-mail, blogger, and instant messaging all in one. If you choose your messages will instantly display on a blog, in an e-mail and and instantly in an IM. People can comunitact at the same document at the very same time.
The program is a little buggy, but still very cool. The part I liked best was the ability to display what the person is typing as they type it. This technology is only availible in HTML 5, and only with opensource browsers - Sorry IE users you will have to get something else.
Here is a photo of me with Vic Gundotra last night. Vic is the vice president of Engineering at Google.
A gathering of 4000 of the best and smartest programmers in the world is occurring right now at the google I/O. This conference is confirming to me that Mozenda and web data mining is the place to be. When Google CEO Eric Schmidt used the term "mashing together" in reference to data and web applications during his keynote address and then again 30 minutes later a reference was made to Mashups it only proves to me the need to mine out and aggregate web content. I have to say that the best part so far has to be the free Google Android phone that is being passed out to all conference goers. Googles goal with this is to give them to us and have programmers build applications on their open environment to strengthen the usability of their phone.
