I think it will, given time, succeed, and succeed quite well.  There is something extremely viral about Google Wave.  Talking about the product with others stirs excitement.  It has an extremely high level of novelty at this moment, even before launch.  Things that work and work well have a history of spreading. Word of mouth was much of what was the success of sites like Twitter.  People just started talking about it. And it was an open platform, so people started using it in a variety of ways that weren't even considered by the original creators.  That's because a well designed flexible framework like Google Wave will inspire user interaction.  People will say "Hey, we could totally use Google Wave for this" much like small companies slowly said "Hey, we could use Basecamp for this." And more and more, felt themselves coming back for more.  Things will just start to "make more sense" to do in Google Wave instead of email or IM.  Or twittering @ someone.

What's crucial for Google Wave, I think, it that the user's FIRST EXPERIENCE has to be a good one. Has to be like that moment you log in to Gmail after using hotmail and saying "Yeah. This makes sense.  This is better."  Or creating a Facebook account back in the day after being abused by MySpace for so long. "Wow. This is MUCH better. It just makes sense."  

I think new users will stumble upon and reveal functionality as they use it.  Like, "oh I just replied to this person --- WAIT! I can see what they're typing!?!?  WOW!"

Not since the days of ICQ were you able to actively watch your friend type.  And I think that was actually one of the biggest draws to ICQ.  you could see it happen. And someone's typing has a way of body language that emoticons do not.  Pauses, rephranes (sp?) , these things give away subtle hints of someone's feelings about something, and I believe it will add an additional element of emotion to email and instant messaging.  Building image galleries, inserting games, and loading up invites to parties through the yes no widget will become "team building" because never before have we been able to, as a one to many interaction digitally, been able to build things together visually in real-time! 

Think of how fascinating this will be to use!!

Top 10 Crasher Squirrels

It all started so innocently when an aspiring young ground squirrel stepped into the family photo of Melissa Brandts in Alberta, Canada’s Banff National Park, seeking fame and fortune. After showing up on National Geographic’s web site it was picked up by The Interwebs, and the rest, as they say, is internet history.

Squirrels are now bombing everywhere, clogging the tubes and interrupting many a classic moment. There’s even a Twibbon to help you show your support for the venerable portrait-crashing rodent.

We picked ten of our favorites (so far!) to show off, starting with the original Crasher Squirrel whose visage will now live in infamy.

Augmented Reality Twitter is the Coolest Thing Ever

…but unfortunately not available in the iPhone App Store just yet.

It all started last month with TwittARound, an application for the iPhone 3GS that uses the GPS, compass and camera to show where Tweets are coming from. As the stunning video below shows, Tweets are overlaid on the landscape, augmenting your view of the world.

Twittaround hasn’t made it into the iPhone App Store yet: the iPhone SDK doesn’t provide public APIs for manipulating live video. In other words: the app is using parts of the software that Apple hasn’t opened up yet. Neither is there an unofficial version of the code available at this point, although there is an open letter that begs Apple to open these parts of the SDK.

A New Player Enters the Market

And yet augmented reality Twitter apps may be coming to your phone soon enough. Local Twitter search provider Tweetmondo is teaming up with augmented reality service Layar, the company has announced on its blog, bringing augmented reality Tweets to phones running Google Android. Later, they plan to bring the service to iPhones. They’ve also posted the video below demoing Layar’s existing technology.

So while it’ll be awhile coming, augmented reality Tweets might be headed to a phone near you soon.
