RE: Action

This year I have already been presented to several things beyond my comprehension.

One of them is augment reality, where, for example. paper with 3D image set against a webcam turns into a small wind farm in a natural landscape , where a little breath into the microphone causes them to turn around. And Layar, an Augment Reality mobile browser can tell me about what I look at and tell me the data that now might be linked to this. See another video .

I have vacation. This means that I get cleaned up. Which brings me to another thing that has pulled at my views on the opportunities in technology.
One of the things I've missed this spring is the Google Wave . I had only skimmed the news about what's in store for us even when it is launched to the public. To Google Wave would be something with a new document production tool for multiple participants simultaneously. But it is much more than that.

This video presents the Google Wave of approx. 1 ½ hours. It was recorded at the Google I / O in May 2009 where Stephanie Hannon, Lars Rasmussen, Jens Rasmussen undergoes an early version of the Google Wave for approx. 4,000 developers.

Google Wave is open source, just like brothers Rasmussen's previous generation Google Maps . This means that it is possible (and to be encouraged) to build applications / gadgets and use APIet for your own use of the Wave as a standalone or in an existing service.

There can be no doubt that Google Wave is distinguished by setting new standards in the Real Time Web. Google Wave changes the use of email, Instant Messaging improves, enhances the potential for image sharing, management of discussion groups, etc. etc.
Google Wave is primarily a communicative tool. It affects the publishing process by making me independent of services, platforms and distribution channels.

Wave uses drag-n-drop technology, which makes it look extremely easy out. But it also has many other features that are state of the art. For example, use their spellcheck Natural Language Processing to understand the syntax and word. There is already built an extension for Wave in the form of a "translator" (40 languages) and the translation is alive. Like everything else, both sender and receiver see what each other does.

The most inspiring to me is the possibility that more people dishes in a document simultaneously. At the same time can make a "play back" the changes that are made along the way, makes the product in my eyes are going far out of the box without having lost touch with reality. It is very impressive. But the way to add links and comment across services enables rear to everyone and everything.

A while ago I read in Computer World about Opera that was in the process of expanding their browser to a server. There is certainly some contexts here and something will happen with the way we are on the Internet within the next few years. When I'm at home privately have started to use Flock 2.5 , which is a Firefox browser with social features. Features on Facebook and Twitter are really good. Better WordPress integration and an integration of Last.fm would make it even funnier. I do not know if Flock will do it for me. But then there is probably someone else who comes to it.
