Google Wave八分钟介绍视频

Hi,I'm Steph. And I'm Greg.We are the Google Wave Team. You know us. Weare the people who made an 80 minutes video to tell you about ourproduct.Here is our time to tell you what wave is in only 10minutes.Don't be mad if we try to smooth a lot in. Wave can do a lot of things.

Wave was built in Sydney,Australia. Lars and Jens started theproject. They helped create google maps. This is what computers lookedlike when email was invented more than 40 years ago. Technology hasadvanced pretty fast since then. We've took inspiration from all theseinnovations and try to imagine what email will look like if it weren'tinvented today. I'll pop out wave. Here is how wave is different fromemail. When you send an email everyone gets a copy of the message. Awave is a hosted conversation. There is one copy and anyone cancontribute to it. This model allows you to do many types ofcommunication and collaboration in one tool.

Let's see how I plan a barbeque with my friends. I'll create a newwave. And I'll add Greg as a participant. Greg opens the wave. Greg canreply anywhere in the wave. When I have the wave open I can see whatGreg types as he types it. I'll add Anna to the wave. She can seeeverything we see，because she is a host of the conversation. Anyone onthe wave can edit any part of the wave.
You can see Greg and Anna editing right now. If I close the waveand then keep editing it, their changes will be highlighted when I comeback.

Let's see how I invite my friends into the barbeque.I'll create anew wave. I want to know if they can attend so I'm going to add "yes nomaybe gadget" to this wave. Gadgets are ways to present and collectinformation other than text. Now I'll add a group of friends into thewave, the wavers. Everyone in the group can see the wave when they areonline and respond.
You can see respond is coming in now.

Why does Don always say no to my barbeques?

If I want to show the people where the barbeque is I can highlightthe address and add a map. As I zoom in you can see Greg's map changestoo.Any developers can build these gadgets.

People always want to drag and drop files directly from theirdesktop into our web applications. With wave you can. Watch as stephniecreates a new wave and then drags and drops a bunch of photos fromiPhoto directly into the wave . Some mails will appear on my machine as soon as they start uploading on hers. I can then drag and dropphotos from my machine directly into the wave as well.

You can see at the bottom of the screen there is an images menu.This menu allows you to operate on all of those images in the wave notjust the images you added. This is an easy and convenient way to makeit collaborate photo album using wave.Now we have a wave with a lot of images in it. We want to share with our friends. Drag our friend"bloggy" onto the wave. This will publish the wave on steph's blog. I'm betting it's a easy way to put waves directly into any website much thesame way you can do with maps today.Watch as I go to steph's blog. You can see on steph's blog that we can see the whole wave not just theimages. This includes all of the UI. Watch as I leave a comment.Everything that I've typed on the blog immediately appears in stephe'swave client. Steph can respond in her wave client and her typing immediately appears on the blog. Since I contribute to the blog thewave will also show in my wave client and we can continue the conversation from there. In beta waves, it's good for developersbecause it allows them to drop a rich collaborative UI into websitewith very little code. It's great for users because it allows them tohave a consistent UI as well as every conversation they care about allin one place.

The combination of collabrative editing and inline discussion makes wave a powerful platform for document creation. i'll show youthat by opening a designed doc we worked on our team. I'll make it alittle more room. And you can see this has rich fonts. It has diagramsand it has inline discussion. The best way to view wave when it'spicked up a certain amount of structure using a feature rebuilt called playback. Playback tells you how the wave builds up. Steven,ourtrusted server guy, wrote a draft. He added a bunch of people. Lars,the manager, said it's a good start but needs more. Steve added more. Imade some edits and so on. I can pick up the slider and move to any part of the wave. Playback is a powerful way to investigate and manipulate the history of a wave.

Robot are pieces of softwares that can be added to the wave like aparticipant.And in fact it can act like a participant. They can do anything a person can do on a wave. They can watch what the type is going on. They can add other participants to the waves and in fact itcan even write into the wave.

Let me show you another extension to wave that lets you interfaceto different communications systems. I'll start a new wave. and i'lladd my friend "tweety the twitbot". As you can see tweety puts in aform and I'm going to sigh in with my twitter username and password.Unfornately it's twepheny. When I submit that form the robot notices itand goes and uses twitter's API to get updates from the people Ifollow.

I can also put up my own update. Tweety notices that and uses thetwitter APIs to update my twitter account. You can also use tweety to search over the public timeline of twitter. Imagine there is a phrase Icare a lot about like google wave. I can enter it here and tweety willuse the API to pull in tweets with that word in them. This way you canuse tweety to be an alert and alarm for the phrase you care about. I can actually leave this wave in my account and anytime there is a newmatch this wave will become active for me. I can open it and see the new content. Robot can be used to interface to other systems. IN thiscase with twitter but it could be anything with an API.
Imagine steph and our and i amfriends. I only speak french. She only speaks English. But we want to communicate in real time. Rosy is a robot that interfaces into google's translation engine and allows us to translate everything in a wave inreal time if we'd like to.

I'm set up for a french. steph set up for an English. I'll add rosy to the wave and then say hi to her.
Bonjour. steph. As you can see it comes up for steph in english. when steph types it comes up for me in french.
Je voudra visit paris.Soyou see that steph and I can communicate with each other in real timeeven though we don't speak the language using robots wave and a bodyRosy.

Oh God. Ten minutes goes by fast. it was like forever.
