I don't know if there is a whole world of SCF waves running out there already. but Craig and I just started a new one to meet some fellow SCF members... its a public wave with the title SCF - a first gathering
How would I go about finding this wave and following/contributing to it?
-
you would have to search for it. and thankfully Google Wave provides us with mighty search tools.
first, we know, that its a public wave. therefore we should type into the search field:
with:public
we also know, that SCF occurs in the title. therefore we also type
title:SCF
into the search field. then we hit the search button. and theoretically you should find the wave.
(sorry for lecturing like that. I am just so delighted by these search options
) -

That was easy - bruhahaaa...
-
yeah, its really cool. now I could go to Google Wave and look for any waves with
with:Csaba AND bruhahaaa
and then I could see, how many times you burst out laughing...
(to be precise, I would have to enter your full wave adress, not only your name...) -
Found this good little guide for wave: http://completewaveguide.com/ seems fairly comprehensive
-
Thanks, Jakob
-
you are welcome, Marcus. oh, and if you read the document Remus suggested, you will find many more useful search commands...
by the way, Remus: when I read the guide and they mentioned that the name was inspired by the Firefly series, I was sold. after that I am absolutely convinced that Wave is the future!
(and who knows, maybe that will trigger the production of a second firefly season...) -
2 invitations for you. PM me
-
I don't like to bump threads but i read this article....

So for those interested i've got 20 invites to share so PM if you want one or two or three...
-
Does anyone actually use Google Wave?
Have 25 more invites, if anyone is interested; so about 30 total.
-
Last time I checked I had about 15+
I know Plot Paris started a public SCF wave but all is quiet these days. What about your Wave Jim?
-
I check wave about once a month.
-
I rarely if ever log into it.
But in the developers wave server, they just introduced a bot-addons area where you can find bots and stuff. So that mgiht start making Wave more interesting if it becomes easier to locate useful bots and addons. I have not looked into it yet though,

I've got a little widget in my windows toolbar that notifies me once I've got a new wave. its faster than e-mail, quite convenient.
I chat with my girlfriend quite regularly on wave. its pretty cool, because she can just write me a wave during the day. when I come home, I reply to it - and if she happens to be online, it turns into an instant messaging conversation...of course the true potential becomes obvious, once you use it with several people at a time. then its better than mailing, because everyone can contribute to the same document. and it is superior to chatting (e.g. Skype) because you can have one main document with all the gathered information and countless sub-conversations where you discuss the different points..
of course it needs some getting used to, to find your way through several parallel conversations.
but I think the technology is highly promising. -
I'm definitely interested in a G Wave invite if anyone still has one.
-
Done! It should be arriving shortly. I've only got 22 left if anyone needs one,
Chris
-
Oh nice, thank you Chris. I'll be looking for it.
-
I still have Google Wa... Oh wait, nevermind.

Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product.

Well, I'm not entirely surprised. It was neat in some ways. But it still seems to me that much of they were so excited about, was really not that exciting. Real time cursor movement in a web browser......ooh, aah. Neat?, sure. Worth throwing millions of dollars into? Well, obviously not anymore. Thanks for the update Jim.
