Google Wave Made Simple

[introesp]

Very nice job :)

[kossmikham]

RIP Google Wave. Couldn't have happened to a stupider idea.

[DGSilva12]

GET A LIFE

[justin55723]

Google Wave...it's like a Facebook Wall, except it tanked horribly.

[stavroschk]

 you can always use the old good telephone

[oppy1984]

And now it's dead, sadly I never could find a good use for it. Tried to get several people to use it in business but they thought it was a waste of time. Oh well I guess.

[DennisEatsFood]

wave is getting dropped haha

[rawrgrr4298]

Hey dude, you have one of those voices/ways of explaining that you hear on the TV. I wouldn't be surprised if you get into this whole thing professionally.

It was an awesome video, i didn't even know what it was until know (never even knew it existed!) I like how you used the computer things for clarity!

Topman!

[MeQuiteFriendlyLOL]

MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD !

[BellydancnClementine]

Ok, that was amazing. Your are going to go far kid.

[abrak002]

pretty cool good job dude

[thepersonguy01]

FREE INVITE PM ME

[Ahmad83T]

Thank you

[DjLucifer6666]

who want wave, pm me!

[iCamVlog]

Okay, if anyone wants an invite to Google Wave, just PM with your gmail after you subscribe to me and I'll send one to you...

[semo2010]

good job kid ... made more sense than the other videos.

[roncalapor]

very nice video kid; creative way of transmitting the idea across

[FrenchGraphics]

I have plenty of Google Wave invites to give out. Please subscribe to my channel then send me a message with your gmail address and i will invite you. Thanks.

[Thewaterofthepool]

Cool, but can't facebook do pretty much the same? like, you tag someone to a note and thats it...

[ddraven]

Very nice way of explaining, its new and different. :).

[swlilbior112]

any body that needs invited to wave, lemme know

[tibiademon]

nerd

[JSSJSDASD]

@tibiademon you are a noob

[chishkebab]

this kid is going places

[MrPilingo]

he is, just a little thingy if u watch ur email from the browser it doesn't store in ur pc even if u connect via IMAP messages remain in the server not in ur computer.

[atan0k]

@MrPilingo

With IMAP, you have the _option_ of not pulling all the messages in their entirety just to have look at them, but you can still pull everything out and store it locally.

There is not a single thing you can do with POP3 that you can't do with IMAP. Nothing.

By the way, GMail has an offline mode that lets you use the webmail interface without a connection. It does that by storing everything it needs with Gears (to be replaced by pure HTML5 when possible). I'm not a fan, but alas.

[MrPilingo]

yah I know I use gmail since the day it was launched in beta with invitation only :) but IMAP is by default not stored in ur system (at least in gmail), and I don't think a novice user would know how to change the settings to store the whole message, in fact I would dare to say that a novice user doesn't even know that their messages get stored with POP3 and not by IMAP (by default).

[SOSGuru]

i have spare invites if you want one go to /watch?v=awF61Tf9Pzk

[hcivoknay]

Very nice.

[BioGenx2b]

This was really well done! I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this, those cut-outs made my day!

5/5

[kuruptsoul]

10 stars for you!

[fernandoscolletion]

But, this means EVERYBODY has to have Waves, if not it is not usefull. I can send a e-mail to EVERYBODY not only Google users, I will stay with my tools, I don't want a monopoly...

[fancypenguins]

Wave hasn't been released yet, you have to go through this whole process just to sign-up. When Wave releases it will be connected to normal e-mail users as well.

[fernandoscolletion]

I have it since 3 weeks, I don't think they give you a Wave without to sign in Gmail... maybe i am wrong...

[AlphaBettaFilms]

You just need a Google account.

[fernandoscolletion]

@AlphaBettaFilms This is just what I am saying! You NEED a Gmail account you can not use it with any other mail account (AFAIK). Big Brother is getting Mega Brother...

[JamesY2K5]

perhaps, but again, since it's open source just w8 for a while and some other site will launch their version of Wave in case u don't want to use another google product.

but u can't question the reason for needing and acc, do u? i hope u don't...

[atan0k]

@fernandoscolletion part1

So, you think something like MSN is less controlling because it allows you to sign in with any email?

You couldn't possibly be more wrong.

In MSN and the like, your account name is "username@domain. com", while in Wave (and real email) it's "username"@domain. com.

They may LOOK the same, but the intent is entirely different...

The first treats the whole account name (username@domain. com) as a whole, and stores it in a Single Monolithic Server.

[atan0k]

@fernandoscolletion part2

With the second, your account name is "username", and what comes after the "@" identifies which server is that account in.

This is why google can only give account names in their own servers, because they only control theirs!

If you want a wave account at a different domain, then that domain needs to have its own, google-independent wave server, just like what happens with email.

[atan0k]

@fernandoscolletion part3

Just as you can't create an @gmail. com email address at yahoo, you also can't create an @yahoo. com wave address at google.

And if you could, that'd mean every single wave address would be pointing at google, when in reality it's a system where all the different servers can exchange messages with each other without ever needing to talk to google.

In contrast, every single time you use MSN Messenger, Microsoft gets to know, no matter what "email" you used to sign in.

[FaithTale]

@fernandoscolletion i use a hotmail and it works

[bambuzz88]

@fernandoscolletion well you see, the thing is that googlle wave is open source, and after it gets popular there will appear new "waves", let's say MSwave, or Yahoo wave or anything. And they will be compatible with each other like gmail is with hotmail and any other email. So I am waiting to get an invitation to google wave and really can't wait to check it out;)

[fernandoscolletion]

I remember as Skype came out and we all want to use the conference possibilities just to talk between 3, 4, 5 people... at the end was a nice try but nobody wants to speak with 3, 4 or 5 people at the same time it is a chaos!! The same with Waves, for a chatting room? no need. For sharing? I use Dropbox, for editing in real time.. Hm, better don't touch my work, please ;-) Where are the extensions for business/work?, just for children or boring people. I see more potential in Unity (Opera)

[AlphaBettaFilms]

I think it is very useful. And a Google account is not always a gmail. It is just an account, like your YouTube. you don't need gmail to do YouTube.

[ChristopherMRios]

@fernandoscolletion Wave's chatting is more of a conference mode. You have a sit down with up to 6 people, but you only talk to one person at a time. Sort of like speaking with the person across from you in a meeting.

[coolguyflex]

@bambuzz88

i can invite you

[bruce72]

Can you invite me? thanks.

[bambuzz88]

@coolguyflex

thanks, but I've just received the email in which they accepted my request. But still someone may need it

[fnklzxxy]

a Wave is open source. Google has made it clear that they have no intention of owning the wave. Hotmail, yahoo, AOL. They can all make Wave clients that can interact with the other Wave clients. Kinda like how Gmail users can email users of other email clients. Google is jsut the first Wave being made.

[ukdeejay]

Very good work, sir - just shown this to my mates nine year old, understands Google Wave better now than after WE tried to explain it to her!

[googlwave]

Хрена се как на пальцах объясняют))

[lcc0612]

This must have taken a lot of work and a lot of thinking. Two thumbs up!

[squarechannel]

got some invites pls drop a mssg with email address if you want one.

[ra4king]

hey that link you put does not work (not the google wave one, the other one with blogger)

[ThisIsWEB]

Nice job on this!

[shortstuf0043]

epitome of creativity

[killer911pt]

haha nice loved it!

Lego men FTW

[AlphaBettaFilms]

Thank you for the comment and have a very nice day.

-ABF

[zheekuli]

hahaha HATER COMMENTS ARE SISSIES!

Good Job! Better explained than Doctor Wave!

No offense doc. your still the project manager!

Peace!

[MrBenMcLean]

I believe I see a Time Cruisers lego man from when I was a kid!!!!!

Time Cruisers was Lego's Back to the Future knock-off, and crossover between their different "storylines" which were actually just playsets with a few extremely low quality comic strips holding them vaugely together. The great thing about Time Cruisers was they had a good assortment of random pieces you could just build crazy stuff with.

[cruzer300]

fag

[skate07senses]

good joob tryin' to explain what Google Wave is to everybody... and ignore the ones who made crappy comments, at least someone tryied to make people understand it, while they didn't.

[papanoelstrom]

what?

[aaquib5]

You little bastard. All you did was take Google's 2 minute video and put your voice on a subpar retarded version of it.

Stay in school.

[reddragon9918]

ive still got 6 invites anyone need 1

[orendafni]

Your friends?

Oh wai-

[minmax2k]

Excellent. The complexity of Google Wave is such that even seasoned users of email, social networking, etc. are overwhelmed by it. They're also hard-pressed to even explain to others what Google Wave is. This does so simply and eloquently.

BTW -- The hater comments in this thread are undoubted posted by individuals who couldn't explain a pencil concisely, much less Google Wave. Ignore them (though I'm confident that you've already made that choice yourself.)

[TNXcrew]

perhaps,, but maybe theyre just people who disagree with people like you and explain themselves excessively to prove a point (like your doing which could be seen as a hater comment against haters starting from "BTW" in which you fail miserably) so stop talking like you match Google Wave's complexity with your talking =P

[andrewgoel]

I like your presentation style.

[Rpalma007]

Great demo congratulations!!!

[keibr51]

A really nice description of G Wave - the best I've seen so far!

[xrillez]

I hate your voice. This video sucked.

[Rpalma007]

I think is a great demo.

[Mega1mpact]

Best discription for Google wave ever 5*****

[mssToronto]

Kid, I hope you got a Wave invite. This is one of the best descriptions of Wave for real people I've seen. 5+ stars !!! :-)

[state1alchemist]

those who want to try out google wave, you can get an invite from forums. most of them suck, but the best place to go to is probably googlewavehelp . net

[kkevinC]

Another really simple way is to search twitter for "i have google wave invites" and usually they say that they are giving them away to the first come first serve and there is alot of them.

[state1alchemist]

great video!

[b0nes2]

so basically it is like a message board, IM and a chatroom all at the same time?

[lifestudios]

Yup. And the apps you can add are awesome. There's an app for translating in the wave An app for twitter, an app for spell checking... an app for...anything?

[arronhunt]

Email, IM, message board, chat room, filesharing, blog all rolled together. Kudos to google!

(by the way, I got my invite last night. Wave is really nice!)

[fidel1320]

this vid is sooooo good...I´ve had such a great time seeing it!!!

[salimoneus]

nice vid. any chance some kind soul could spare an invite? really want to get in and check this out!

[b0nes2]

check out gizmodo, they have invite threads. It takes a while, I requested one about 3 months ago and got it today.

[numbers54321]

someone said you can use this program to talk to people speaking other languages in real time is this true?

[AlphaBettaFilms]

Yes, I believe it is.

[lifestudios]

Yes by using the "Rosie" (Or is it Rosy) bot, you can talk in 1 language and it'll come out as the other person's local language.

[DonHoraldo]

the emails not in her home it's on the email server and there is in some programs a copy of the email in a client.

[Darkhoster]

It a great vid! 5/5

How ever, Doesnt bloggy post the whole wave as a blog? Not only the pictures?

IAM IN THE BETA!

[jyotiswaroopr123321]

You can choose whatever content you want to be posted... if you want the comments and the discussion too, that can be done... and when you decide to update a photo, or add new ones you just have to add them to your wave and they automatically get updated on the blog!!

So now tell me wave is making a bigger mess...

[Darkhoster]

Wave is really easy to use,

Just forget what you know about email xD

But does anyone know how to get bloggy to work?

[MicroHelper]

OMG So many views dude!!! . Wow get youtube partnership!

[MarkGarrison]

So basically, it's like a really fancy IM client.

[jyotiswaroopr123321]

It does much more than IM... you would know this after a few years when nobody would use email anymore and only wave is being used...

[ElectricManSweden]

Google wave for Idiots?

[EdgarTheGreen]

Yup, its really wonderful, its like facebook, but more google!

[werlynn]

WOW! This was a terrific video!

[CheekTV]

great video x

[uBeR1337gUy]

Holy shit, kid, you're amazing.

[rjkennedy98]

this was great...i think i understand now... love the paper format

[Toolkasine]

So basically its just like facebook

[gatvolinpommyland]

Its nothing like Facebook. AlphaBettaFilms left out a big chunk of features like the ability to edit the text in a Wave that someone else has written (given that the right permissions have been set.

[chrisszl]

No, it's not just like Facebook. It incorporates ideas like FB, but for FB, if you are my friend, you see EVERYTHING I post, unless I change my security settings. Plus, I can add things as I go along, which in a basic form, I can do with FB, but not a lot. And I can't insert ideas, or photos or video into the middle of a post. And I can't go through and modify posts of other people, like I can (sort of) for wikis.

The point is, it's the best parts of the things we do today online. And open.

[DonHoraldo]

no it's not. it's just a new way for people to think that they're getting stuff organized and only making a bigger mess of it.

[jyotiswaroopr123321]

you cant edit anything once you publish anything on facebook... and on facebook multiple people cant edit a single post or a message... so its much new and completely different from fb...

[EdwardMouse]

Haha just like Commom Craft ;)

Great :D

[SuzumiyaHaruhi0]

GOD BLESS YOU

[mikejadoti]

Good job laying it out in layman terms

[BlindxLink]

Fantastic work.

Helped me understand what it was and how it works.

5 Stars!

[vaskemiddelet]

good job!

[dante666diaz]

Hey, for sounding pretty young you did a hell of a job. It was simple, to the point, and informative. 5/5.

[rodrimax1]

Nice and simple! LOL!

[Brickcellent]

Wow. Excellent work.

[selenagomez33129]

Oh, thanks. If you guys have a Twitter, post "#GoogleWave" and you'll prob. get an invite from Google. Good luck, they're running out of invites!

[amadcarrot]

impressive job.

[six6sicmaggot]

too much technology for me

[palmerpoop]

...What? O_o

[LsBaba]

Good clear explanation of Wave. I like the use of props, particularly the Wave UI. Seeing the peple and blips being added (by hand) to the Wave is good. Sound quality a little patchy tho.

[librariesrock]

Very clear explanation!  Excellent job!!!

[GAQ01]

Kudos buddy - how old are you?

[atm4382]

Awesome video describing uses for google wave.

[alquimistab]

very good! But it would be better if there is a way arm dont block the view and the elements just popout...

[abbracadaver]

nicely done

=)

[vinnyangelo]

cool! liked it!

[mariaperrymaria]

getgooglewave . blogspot . com

Free invites left, Enjoy !

[ceedubb72]

Excellent!

[djemil5]

Wow well done. Thanks for explaining.

[S1o1V2I]

Interesting - you must have cool parents little dood.

[Nexis]

Great video, good job buddy!

[GAME4LIFE213]

ahahahahahahah

[nuggie9511]

lol i didn't understand sorry :-(

I did get that google wave connects blogs and email, and that redundancy is reduced

[AppsForMacs]

I've got a Google Wave giveaway on my channel. There are 8 up for grabs! Go get 'em!

-Sam

[Chnamanjx]

Google sucks at explaining their things. An hour long presentation?

Google you got owned by a little kid explaining your own technology.

[Sh4ring4n300]

that's why IM exists... but it's awsome... XD

[timxehanort]

Quite a weird way to explain stuff but it certainly worked for me ;) Thanks!

[Jeroenrs1]

This is exactly like the 'In Plain English' videos..

[justinamirkhani]

What benefit does this serve versus an event application like Facebook's?

[AlphaBettaFilms]

Yeah, I'm not that into java bots.

[3diot]

awesome video. Looks like it took some time and effort! Worth the 5 stars.

[itzditchy]

The original presentation was simple, if people need this kind of explanation, their probably also too stupid to use Google Wave xD

[AlphaBettaFilms]

Maybe it'll just take tham a long time to figure out all the features. Thanks a lot!

[itzditchy]

True, but wave is more intended for experienced users I think, because it's used with blogging, different google applicationos and integrating it into work meetings etcetera. Things a normal person who only browses and tweet doesn't need.

[AlphaBettaFilms]

But the presentation was an hour, twenty minutes and twelve seconds and it takes so loooong to watch.

[samrudoff]

but it was good lol

[exilim29]

This is just one more way that Google controls my life. I like to phone people when I plan a party =D ... Phones: "Text messaging (forwarding) included"

[AlphaBettaFilms]

A google wave phone would rock, though!

[itzditchy]

well Google Wave only uses your browser, so a regular phone could work I think, but I think they will make an android application for it =)

[supaflyjohnson]

lol that a kid is telling me about the "future of communication"

[samrudoff]

lol xD

[PurpleCliff1]

Before watching this I thought Google Wave was something entirely different ... Lol.

[TutorialThis]

very creative nice job must of tooken alot of time

[indgiu]

Hey very good! Your knowledge of new technologies is remarkable considering you sound pretty young!

WRT Google Wave, it sounds a like merge of the top applications in use today: email, instant messaging, facebook and twitter. Pretty clever of Google...

[tapgyn]

dude, sound like a 12yo and you're just so web 2.0

I'm jealous of you and that's a horrible feeling... lol

[smilehacker]

Easy to understand Google wave new feature thanks for providing this presentation

[J123Junk123]

dude you are a fucking legend.

[luvmsiahatethegov]

Nice work. Now if only Google could take a minute to explain exactly as you did to the public.

[furmigaotora]

plagio do "Plain English"... marromeno.

[AlphaBettaFilms]

I made every second of this homemade video; it is not piracy, and please tell me what marromeno means.

[furmigaotora]

I'm not saying you didn't made this, I'm just saying it's pretty much the same kind of animation that "...in Plain English" make, with paper samples and etc. They do a really good job and to be fair I think you're on the right way creating your own stuff, even if it's not all original. "Marromeno" would something like "not bad".

[AlphaBettaFilms]

Oh! Alright, thank you.

[wncoutdoors]

Cute :)

[steelmanro]

This is so simple that everyone will get the idea. Nice one !

[diegovalencr]

That's an interesting view of Google Wave :)

[waste234]

Very cool! I didn't really get Google Wave until I saw this video.
