Hi Jim. Yeah, it'll be a while before mass adoption happens, but as with many Google products, this will have quite a bit of momentum in the next few years.

Hi Rich, Thanks for the update on Google Wave. Sounds like a game changer but since it might be a while before I get my hands on it, I'll keep checking back. -Jim

No plans, but I suppose if enough people ask, maybe. The Facebook Connect integration comes through Disqus, which only applies to comments. The blog itself isn't FB Connect-enabled, so I'd have to do that independently, which would further complicate matters by adding *another* FB Connect login. Bit confusing.

Or maybe I'm overcomplicating it. What's wrong with Google Translate :)

On the subject of world domination, any plans to use Facebook Connect to spread the appslab word globally? http://www.pcmag.com/articl...

Yeah, if you read our original coverage, Rich and I both expect Wave to have a bigger impact on communication inside the firewall b/c there are so many more processes to automate. Facebook already has chat and email, so it makes sense for them to do something similar. The assumption is that Paul Buchheit from FriendFeed who's credited with designing GMail, is probably redesigning FB email, which is a hot mess. Wouldn't surprise me to see something game-changing from them, maybe more focused than Wave.

For me the most obvious use is for a group of developers or product managers, i.e. INSIDE a corporate firewall. I suppose there will be a Facebook-like version (or perhaps a Facebook-embedded version) as well.

It will be awhile until useful patterns emerge that are more efficient than what we have now. We'll just have to wait and see.

"spikes my browser’s memory usage by about 300-500k" - you probably wanted to say 300-500MB? :)

At this point, my biggest issue with Google Wave is that while it offers a way for predetermined groups of people to collaborate, it doesn't seem suited for collaboration on the fly with a previously disconnected group of people. And even for predetermined groups of people, I'm not sure what advantages Google Wave offers, other than the ability to use your Google account.
