I feel like I must speak to it more than a Tweet or comment and speak up about Wave from Google.

Here is the full IO video - so when you find yourself with an hour and 20 to spare, if you have not all ready seen it.

If you jump to 7:32 they start the actual demo thanks Philipp Lenssen

So much has been said all ready

From Google Wave Site:

The Google Wave API is an open platform allowing developers to extend the functionality of Google Wave itself, or extend other applications with waves. As a developer, you can think of Google Wave as three pieces:

* The Google Wave client application, the interface designed for users
* The Google Wave APIs, which are documented throughout this site
* The Google Wave Federation Protocol, the underlying network protocol for wave communication

We truly do need to redefine the communication paradigm and move beyond our weak threaded emails and 140 character tweets of A.D.D. communication. The ability to move through the conversation back and forth and the play back integrated with the bots and automation that can occur wrapped in OSS third party API openness send me to a giddy state but I might just be twisted like that.

Any company solution or tool that gives me power over the volume and dysfunctional interface that is today’s social web gives me hope that we are overcoming our limited interface challenges of the last century, think keyboard, monitor etc. in the user interface experience we are building towards.

WOW as I write this I get this

BBC-
Microsoft has unveiled its new control system for the Xbox 360 console, at E3 in Los Angeles.

Project Natal is a fully hands-free control system that will use face recognition and motion sensors to allow users to play games.

Well interface meet innovation get ready for our constructed interactive social experiences. When we as a culture get off the couch and interact via the internet infrastructures and the visions of Lanier and the virtual realities of the past come into existence today. Where fictionalized imaginative stories as well as face to face business applications meet mid telepresence and an escalation in the console wars just occurred without changing the “box”. Now that’s a 360!

Two Thumbs up to both technologies!
