The potential power of Google Wave is far bigger than its demo « Alexander va... - 0 views

  • Google has not only spent time and energy making sure Wave can suck content into the platform, it has spent as much time and energy making sure it can get out too! Farewell destination based business models. Farewell walled gardens. If Wave gets adapted, it will put the user in control, and that is exactly what we need to do to break out of our current web 2.0 boundaries. That is what makes this development so remarkable.
  • Google just did some major plumbing on the web, and honestly, they were probably the only ones that could do this
  •  
    Some really good points are made in this post, highlighting how limited Web 2.0 in its segmentation of cool apps. All schools (everyone?) know that combining the data and tools we already have is critical.

      Students find this second nature. The students in Year 6 at my school get a real buzz from making comments on other students' work and reading comments on theirs.
