I had to choose "Other" on the list, my main question is, "When can I start playing with it!"

Wow. Couldn't help but react to this one. You can't use a question like that in a serious poll, pal. That is a classic 'leading question', already painting the emerging technology in a positive light. It might be brilliant, who knows. But still, a more scientific approach would be 'What is your sentiment regarding Google Wave?'

Thank you for sharing, very interesting article

Thats like asking if an alien landed on earth, would we be more excited about their cuisine, or their language.

My response: all of the above

I had to go with 'other' in your poll. Not because I am not interested in the other choices - in particular 'Its potential as a social media development environment'. No, the reason I went with 'other' is because with the latest announcements on the Chrome OS I'm beginning to wonder where Google's bid for world domination is going to end? Though perhaps the fact they are going after almost every facet of online (and offline!) computing means they wil spread themselves too thin. Already the take up of Bing is quite interesting.

This is going to sound like one of those "people from the street" that they "interview" in The Onion, but I didn't know Twitter had an API and much less what types of apps could be developed, except the nth Twitter client. Thesis Writing.
Regards,

As part of Google Wave Federation Day, we have open sourced the Operational Transformation (OT) implementation, which is the primary algorithm that manages the collaborative experience inside Google Wave, as well as the underlying wave model. To encourage early experimentation with the federation protocol, we also built a basic open source client/server

Seems I went with the crowd - though only just! I voted for what the developers are going to do with the API. It'll be facinating to see what ideas people come up with. Currently that choice is just about in the lead in the poll with roughly 27% of the votes. Interesting stuff. SimonLBG

Have lots of use cases that could be applied to this, would be happy to take it for a spin around the block....
