Google Wave Now Open To All

Posted by timothy on from the and-do-you-care dept.

tonyfugere writes "After a year of testing by invitation only, Google Wave has been opened to the public. From what I have seen, it looks like it could be beneficial for documenting brainstorming sessions beyond simple instant messaging protocols." (Google Wave is "also great for entertaining the masses," says tonyfugere, who links to the slightly NSFW demonstration below.)

    A few of mine tried. After a couple hundred messages, you have to type each character and wait a second or two before you can type the next one.

    I finally gave up when it started taking me more than a minute to type a short sentence. I started longing for the incredible speed of BBSes and my old 300-baud modem.

    Some friends and I have used Wave for a LOST discussion group every week, and it's pretty bad by the end of each episode

    The Wave or the show?
