More confirmation that Wave App Store is coming

During the one-day Google Wave hackathon at Googleplex in July, Lars Resmussen gave a short speech and mentioned that there will be a wave app store. It appears that this is reiterated during the London Wave hackathon. This is a good news for developers.

a couple blog posts about wave

Here are a couple blog posts from gtug campout members.

Peter Huboi gave a few ideas on how wave can be used for music industry. http://marketingplaylistpower.wordpress.com/2009/06/15/how-will-google-wave-impact-online-music/

Paul Böhm talks about what wave is. The important point, as he points out, is that wave's potential goes wells beyond the current wave UI. Evaluating wave based on current UI is selling short of its potential.

The GTUG campout hackathon was so fun.

It was such fun, I had a blast. Details later.

google-wave-api group activity level is up

Right after wave is announced, I remember google-wave-api having more than 100 emails a day. After a while, the email volumn went way down, presumably because people who receive wave sandbox account have moved the discussion to wave-discuss@wavesandbox.com. Since last week, I have noticed that the volumn is up again. This is a good sign. This may be due to arrival of new sandbox accounts. Or it may be the due to shutdown of wave-discuss@wavesandbox.com.
