Google seems to finally approved Wave Sandbox access for some developers who did not attend the I/o. We are publishing a few screenshots and background information on the Google Wave platform below. It is interesting that we are running Disqus comments on the TypeHost site and there are quite a few similarities between Disqus & Google Wave, as well as some major differences. XMPP is doing really well over all in keeping the messaging instant – you can see people typing updates as it happens on the screen.

Understanding Google Wave Development Part 1
Since “Google Wave” was introduced at the Google I/O Conference in San Francisco May 27th to 28th, 2009, there has been a lot of buzz and attention surrounding the new platform. What exactly is Google Wave? According to the development team, it is the biggest upgrade to email since the introduction of the web, a type of combination between email, blog, forum comment section, instant message system, and widget board. Google Wave shows the enormous influence that Facebook is having on the future of the web – in a way, the preview looks as if the majority of Google services were integrated and remixed into an animated Facebook stream. The big differences are in the standards behind the interface: XMPP particularly allows the Wave documents to function like an instantaneous, shared whiteboard in addition to a saved multimedia document with filtered permission levels.
