tattoomike Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Those who have it, what do you use it for? Just got it and haven't used it yet. Was wanting to check it out to see how much I would actually use it, so I had to get a couple contacts. Will check back in a couple days to let ya know what I think.

kirbypuckett Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm under the impression that no one uses Google Wave yet. They just talk about their invites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlikesmusic Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I made my account and don't plan on using it for quite a while, if ever. I've never seen the use for it, but signed up for the hell of it. (Similar to my Google Voice number) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destroyingthescene Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Got it a few days ago. It seems like a solid colaboration tool if you have friends and colleagues on it. Right now it's pretty 'meh' in my books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfedaykinx Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 you can use it to fight crime: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/30/google-wave-manhunt/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29 Apparently, like everyone else, the Seattle Times is very interested in trying to figure out what to actually use Google Wave for. But while most are trying to use it for either fun, realtime chats, movie reenactments, or inner-business workings, the Seattle Times have tasked Wave with a larger goal: Catching a killer.This public Google Wave has been set up to involve the community by offering realtime information that anyone may know about the location of a man suspected of killing four Seattle police officers. A search of a Seattle-area home this morning turned up nothing, but various reports of sightings are coming in, and the Times is opening a Wave to help with the flow of information. About 45 minutes ago, the Wave was opened with just a few people in it. Already, there are over 100 people in here now communicating quickly with updates. Included are Wave elements with links to police scanner audio, live video footage of the search, a suspect description, and information about local schools on lockdown. It’s actually quite amazing to watch this unfold and get updated before your very eyes. That said, it will also be a bit overwhelming for many people to follow. In just the first Wave message in the thread, there are four people currently updating things, for example. As one users participating wrote, “distracting/annoying, mostly,” with regard to the live-typing element of Wave. Another simply wrote, “google wave is a mess… back to twitter.” But others participating are amazed at the rapid flow of information coming in. And plenty are able to follow along. As someone else writes, “That last radio about the fresh blood was pretty chilling… hopefully they are close.” The fact that this is a public Wave that anyone can join is also both a blessing and a curse. Right now, the comments are pretty much all on-point, but that’s only because many people on the web still don’t know about, or have access to Wave yet. If they did, undoubtedly forums like this would turn into a mess of spam. That’s something Google has to think very seriously about for Wave going forward. Still, a use case like this is very interesting. A manhunt is all about gathering information. Could there be misinformation? Of course, but there could be on tip lines as well. If a police department had someone watching this Wave (I’m not sure if that’s the case right now), they could do their best to attempt to filter the good information from the bad. Something like this could also be potentially useful for a missing child. Of course, for all of these types of cases, a solid mobile interface may be better than someone sitting at their computer using Wave. Presumably, the best tips will come from someone who is out and about and sees the suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destroyingthescene Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just made a Vinyl Collective Wave. Put some of you i have on my contacts list on it. Join guys! It's public! so how exactly do you join?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inutil Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 First you have to search for the wave or have someone add you to it. For searching: Go to the search box and type "with:public vinyl collective" then press enter. Some waves will appear, one of them will be "The Vinyl Collective Wave" Click on it, then say something or click "follow", and it'll always be on your inbox from now on. Doubts?
