How will Google Wave impact your website?

I haven't watched the Google I/O presentation in awhile but if I remember right there was a box you could check (or uncheck) that would stop them from seeing what you're typing, while you're typing.

I don't think I'd like not being able to hit the backspace before I send. I get a bit goofy at times (like you still manage to get into trouble) and need to delete things and rewrite them.

If I need live fast conversation I have skype video chat for that - or a phone of course.

Of course we will or constant blocking of Google's presence on our websites. Just the question raised here about what Warrior's think of the possibilities means that people will spam it to death, like they spam Craig's List, Twitter, Hub Pages, Squidoo, Facebook, Myspace ... any place they can.

Great point Linda! I've been reading the Complete Guide to gWave to find out if there's an existing Extension that gives the Wave creator the ability to approve access to a Wave so as to keep the riff raff from corrupting the flow of useful info in the Wave, but I've not come across it just yet?

I'm sure this feature/function will show up on my radar soon, but if you happen to come across it, sure would appreciate a pointer.

That is exactly what i'm afraid of. It's just another step in google's plan to accumulate every piece of data on everyone possible.

I for one won't be using it.

From the looks of things, there is this evolution of trying to centralise all data on the internet. Maybe,just maybe the future of the internet might be..people /developers will eventually set up private networks outside of google. Whether its facebook and the like developing more comprehensive functions similar to wave to compete..but possibly smaller operations.
I know there are vpn's..and possibly it will work along those lines..

..It's just a thought.

I wonder if one day our kids will wake up and think "I wonder what it was like to access anything i wanted?".

The scary thing with letting 1 company know too much about us,is the freedom to choose products will be limited to a few. The chosen products by google becuase ads will be so highly targeted that it's not really choice. (lets face it,alot of things marketed, a need or want is generated to get people to purchase,or to accept that becuase everyone else has the product you need it too)
...then again if that comes to pass..our kids won't be thinking "where did choice go?".
Then, what is stopping google selling this info to other big corporates willing to pay for this highly targeted demographic information?

Sure as im'ers we need this info as well..but its not just customers getting targeted..IM'ers aren't the exception.

Not sure how quickly wave/sidewiki will catch on..and become mainstream but i will be ensuring that what products i deliver will be the best i can offer. Not only that but building investments (a real estate portfolio mainly) so that IM won't be the only source of income whilst still achieving financial sucess.


my 2cents worth.
apologies if my thoughts are not clear enough.
