First Look at Google Wave

This is my first look at Google Wave. My account was activated today, and I’m quite thrilled to try it out. I’ll post more as figure out things. For now, this is my first screenshot.

Daynah's Google Wave Sandbox Account

(Bigger Version)

First impression, it looks like an email client, but it’s not. I wanted to change my profile photo, so I clicked on the blank square in the “Contacts” section and it gave me a link to change my photo. This link takes me to my sandbox gmail settings. After more clicking, it takes me to my sandbox Gmail account. It looks like email isn’t integrated into Google Wave interface (yet?) besides having the two accounts linked up.


Invites were not given in this round of testing. I would love to give you an invite as soon as I get any. It feels kind of silly right now chatting/Google Waving to myself anyhow! If you have a sandbox account too, let me know so we can test out this amazing platform.

So that’s my first look. I’ll be posting more later!

Daynah's Google Wave Conversation w/ Lawrence
Here’s another screenshot of Google Wave. Lawrence helped me test it out! (Bigger Version)
