  • Google could be mulling a move which would allow outside developers to play around with the firm’s development stack, according to comments by Google exec, Dave Girouard at a Web 2.0 Summit panel in San Francisco.
  • "We want to open up the Google stack, the Google platform in many, many ways, and in the end if we do it right, you will have the same access to Google that our own developers do” said Girouard.
  • Girouard’s comments could be taken to mean that outside developers will soon be able to try their hands at building their own Google apps, or adding bits and pieces to existing Google apps.

      This is almost certainly too much for me to swallow.

      I like discrete applications.
  • ultimately it would mean a user could save all their work in the browser and dump it on the intertubes when they go back online
  • waves worked best on standards-compliant, Webkit browsers
  • emails (which could be translated between languages in real time) to a wave user
  • wave that was turned back into an e-mail
  • The same held true for instant messages and tweets
  • getting people to change their rusted-on habits
  • Microsoft's hand may have been moved by the launch of Wolfram|Alpha
  • Safari
  • Mozilla
  • Chrome
