This morning, I had the bad fortune to be sitting next to someone who got a Google Wave invite before I did. I was really jealous, watching all those bits fly across his screen. Keeping up with these kinds of technologies is an important part of the work we do, as is integrating new technologies with our content, and vice versa.
I went back over to my desk to update our RSS feed to reflect some new content we’d sent to Flickr (see what I mean about integrating technologies), and then I started on a weekly report I write. I called another coworker over to show her part of the work, and she asked, “are you really writing this in Emacs?”
I was. And then it hit me: Google Wave is the new Emacs.
Discuss.
You have to hit CTRL-X CTRL-S to send somebody a message?
Well played, Mr. Vargas :-P When I stared at the Google Wave screen, it was about that intuitive to figure out what I should do, in fact.
I just got a wave account last week and have no idea what to do with it. But I just thought I should make you jealous too. :-)
ah, now i see you do have an account. for some reason you didn't show up the first time i searched. Yay, now I have another person to try to talk to!
Are Emacs the new Ewoks?
…and is it safe to Wave at Ewoks??
