Spread Google Wave

Check out my Mac desktop on my Ubuntu 9.10....How do you like it?

We’re pretty excited to push another update to our first Google Wave bot – the AmazonBot. The update includes a refreshed UI, Amazon Marketplaces support, and language localization.

We just released another Google Wave robot and gadget – It allows to search for auctions and collaborative shopping on ebay.com. Wave participants can share auctions & information with contacts in real-time thanks to automatic queries by the ebayBot against conversation keywords. The eBayBot gadget can detect products and return inline auction and product links or a custom full auction browser.

We just released the WithWaves AmazonMP3Bot – a Google Wave robot and gadget – which enables social mp3 music research and shopping on Amazon.com. The AmazonMP3Bot gadget and bot can detect audio products and return inline links based on a Wave conversation or keyword query autodetecting artist name, song title, or album.

The Google Wave AmazonBot just received a tiny update adding support for querying a single Amazon.com department e.g Electronics or Software.

We’re really excited about Google Wave and its potential to change the web. Still, understanding what Wave is all about — and why you should use it — can be difficult to grasp (even with Ben Parr’s excellent Google Wave Guide).

That’s why we’re big fans of this video from Epipheo Studios. It really explains, in a very straightforward and entertaining way, what Google Wave is and why it is worthy of all the hype it has received. Here’s the YouTube video:

Listen, this is a pretty cool thing. Google Wave also has a public timeline, like twitter. It shows all wave created and updated if they are marked “public”, and this happens real-time. You can open these waves and join the conversation.  To access it, all you need to do is, type “with:public” without quotes, in to the search bar.

One day after the beta account invites were sent out to thousands of users for preview, the wave public timeline is full of people excited about their new wave accounts. I can see new waves appearing every second.

Google Wave has arrived. The real-time communication platform has been one of the hottest and most anticipated products in the tech and social media space for months. Soon around 100,000 people will be messaging each other in one of Google’s most ambitious projects to date.

So what if you’re one of the lucky ones to get an invite, or just want to understand exactly how this new tool works? While we cover the basics in our Google Wave Guide and have explored its game-changing features, we haven’t really written about exactly how to use Google Wave and how to navigate it.

So let me get this straight: People bid hundreds or even thousands of dollars for the chance to use software that will help them do instant messaging, social networking and file sharing from one location?

But that's exactly the case, according to the Wall Street Journal, which found a blogger from Baltimore who tried to auction his Wave invite on eBay.

Invites to try Google Wave, the revolutionary real-time communication and collaboration tool, started going out around ten hours ago. If you haven’t got one yet, be patient – you might still be lucky.

Around the time Google flicked the switch on the invites, one of the team behind the launch tweeted “Wave invites starting … will take many many many many hours to get them all out! We are so very grateful for all the interest!!”
