At Google IO, I talked with several of the companies presenting there. It was quite interesting to see what the different companies put into their Wave efforts. But, is there a business model around building wave applications. If there is on way to make money in the future on the app, it might not be interesting to start developing applications for wave.

There were the big players – SAP, Novell, Salesforce and Oracle. SAP and Novell both presented their “Wave” servers. Obviously, there is a model for providing servers/services to organizations with a higher level of group control or/and enterprise scalability. The services interact with Google and other Wave servers, but are being run on independent servers.

SAP is already providing Streamserve to their customers as an on demand solution that they can easily implement already. Novell Pulse is still not available and is waiting for more development, thought it looked like their service was pretty cool. I was standing beside Novell and saw what their application is capable of doing. ProcessOne was doing the same by creating a Wave server.

Salesforce and Oracle showed off how Wave could assist their customers interact differently with their platform. For them, Wave is just another platform they support to get more customers to user their services. I’m not sure if they charge extra for their services or it is just a free add on. If they can get some more customers based on the Wave platform then, it is a success. But they must be making the money on their other subscription service.

For Prezi’s presentation, they used Wave to just get another platform to show their presentations. With the help of the wave interaction Prezi will be able to get more exposure and other channels to deliver their cool presentations. This model is probably one that most of the companies at the stand used – to get more people to use their service, by offering Wave as a spate client for their services.

My goal is to build applications that we can charge for, or some premium model. We will be targeting the Apps Marketplace where we have an easy way to offer applications to organizations, and we have a pretty easy log in concept to make everything work. I’m really happy with the release of Wave for Google Apps and the Apps marketplace. It means that there will be a place where we can sell our services. In the first term it will be Caseish.com, but there will be other.

Then there was the student project processWave.org, a Gravity clone, which seemed to have taken a lot of improvements and was working pretty slick. But they did not seem like they were going to take any future actions in commercialize their projects.

We are also wandering to create a few games. Just to try out how it is possible to create games in Wave. We should provide some free games, and then the ideal would be programs with some more features. But without an appstore it will be more difficult to use and distribute the games. We have wandered to use Adsense on our games, but have no idea on it will be worth the while. So I guess we will have to wait for a free version or make a paid app using a robot to add the access control.

What is your view on how to monetize the way Google Wave applications are built?

I have been a fan of using Google Wave for communication. I have started to use wave in the sandbox, but at that time, it was not ready for enterprise use. Nothing has changed until the announcements at Google IO.

1. Google can be run on your domain in the Google Apps environment. I wrote on my experiences with this earlier in “Announcing New Google Wave Application Developed by Masteringwave.” I think that this is a killer feature of the Google Apps which allows more users to switch to Gmail, because they get the functionality they want.
2. With the help of wave for Google Apps it is possible to sell extensions to users of Google Wave for Apps. With the Google Apps Marketplace, it is possible to sell applications that can be used on the domain. I see this as a really nice way to start the promotion and selling of products, because it leverages the authentication of users that already exists in the enterprise. I’m expecting that this so fair is the best way to start selling products for Wave, and the way Caseish will be sold.
3. The groups’ functionality is going to be extended more, making it possible to tailor the groups’ experiences even better. This is something that from the Wave Fireside chat at Google IO was something that was going to be released at some point.
4. There are at least three servers that can federate with GoogleWave Sandbox at the moment (SAP, Novell, and ProcessOne). I only think that SAPs Streamworks is the only one already available.
5. The stability and users experience have grown. Now it is much easier to get started using Google Wave. You don’t need to be a geek anymore to start using Wave for your projects.

Given the chance to be a participant in the event, I can say that Google I/O is really amazing wherein all developers are surprised with the new innovations when it comes to collaboration.

And, all of us are very surprised with the new API releases which were announced, namely:

“Wave This” Service

• This allows website visitors to easily create waves out of the content on your site.

Run robots on any server

• You run robots on your own web servers, which makes it also easier to write robots that integrate with your existing website systems.

Fetch waves with Wave data APIs

• Allows developers to write programs that can read from and write to Wave on behalf of Wave users.

Use a robot to manipulate and retrieve attachments

• Gives you the ability of reading and writing in wave which lets you cover more things than usual

Other companies also presented their current innovations like:

Novell Pulse

• Working on ways on how to collaborate easily, instant, on-demand, and in real-time

SAP

• Adopts Google Wave Federation Protocol with their StreamWork

Seeing all these announcements prove what Google I/O truly stands for…

According to Vic Gundotra, Engineering Vice-President of Google, I/O embodies the spirit of the Web, a spirit of collaboration, a spirit of inclusiveness rather than exclusiveness, and, a spirit of innovation and of openness.

I/O also stands for two most important elements of Web Culture: Innovation in the Open.

Keep posted for more updates!

I have had the opportunity to try out wave for my domain for the last couple weeks. I have used it on masteringwave.com. It has been a really nice experience and looks like it will propel wave in to the business side.

First Waves has already covered some of the functionality at with their post Google Wave Available to 31000 University Students. Where they talk about a university using Wave and show some screenshots.

I have been using wave to organize my team’s efforts since we got started using the preview version of Wave. But it did lack some features that are really nice in organizational perspectives.

It is still in preview and there will be more changes to the wave system. So it is likely to change in the future.

I really like the way the group function. All your mail groups can be used as groups in wave. It seems like the groups are using groups for apps, if such a thing exists. It is nice that you only have to provision the users on place.

It is possible to see when you are Waveing with people outside of the domain. This is really nice feature, and allows you to see if it is a private conversation you are having.

Also as with Wave you get your whole address book, so you can communicate with the people on your list.

It is of course to communicate outside of your own domain with other domains. I have not yet configured anything in my DNS to allow this type of wave communication. I guess that it has to be configured the same wave you configure your mail domain. But since there are no third party waves out there yet the configuration is probably quite minimal.

We got access to see how it was to develop apps for a hosted wave service. It is quite possible, but we still have some issues that we need to figure out how to manage before we start using it to the public. But basically wave works just the same way, it is just not sure that all participants are from the domain googlewave.com anymore. So if that is hard coded in any robot/gadgets it should be removed.

We used Google single sign on to make it possible to sign-up to log on to our service. For this to work properly, our app needs to be a part of the Apps Marketplace.

When you create a wave in the domain, the wave id will be prefixed with the wave id. The Wave id is then longer then the waves from googlewave.com. It is a question if those waves also will be prefixed to fit into the structure. So, when all waves need to be prefixed with the domains, then all the current waves will not work. I suspect there will be a solution for this.

For the usability part of the application, it is really nice to just have one place where all communication, both for guidelines and day to day communication.

On Google IO we will be releasing our caseish.com app. Stay tuned to learn more on how that will help you.

In MasteringWave, we have been developing a wave application for a long time. We are about to think that the application is ready for external feedback. It is in no way complete, but we would really like to show what we are capable of making this happen and get some feedback on how the application is working.

We could probably continue to develop on the application for the next three years and then make it available to the public to get response. But it is really important to get response from the market.

We are therefore happy that we have a boot to show of our project at Google IO next week. It will be exciting to see how people find the application and are sure they find it useful. If you want to get early access to the application, be sure to sign up to our newsletter. Then we will provide you with an early access link.

If you will be at Google IO be sure to drop by at our booth in the Developer Sandbox area and have a talk about how Wave can be used in your organization.

Here is the link to our Developer Sandbox, http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/sandbox.html

The default start screen has been changed. You can now start a new wave containing some prefilled content.

Templates are not something new The Shiny Wave had a post about a user contributed list of Wave templates. I’m not sure if any of the templates from the project has been reused. But some of the ideas have. The difference is that with this new addition you do not have to find a wave template and the create a new Wave based on this.

An example of this looks like this.

The idea is fantastic, it will allow you have some much better synchronized and harmonized waves. It seems like it is missing the option of adding your own templates to the list. It could be some extensions you added or something defined in your Wave for your Enterprise.

Probably the most requested feature of Google Wave has been delivered yesterday. It is simply to get email notification when a Wave changes.

It is quite easy to start to use. Simply select the dropdown button on your inbox, select notifications. Then you have the option to select how often you want the notifications.

The email you then will get looks like the following.

One feature missing feature is that it is not possible to look for updates in the inbox. I might only be interested in updates in Wave, when a search term is updated. So I only get updates when Waves with the word SAP or the tag SAP is updated.

I currently use Google Wave Notifier to get updates, when a Wave is changing. The program gives instant notifications when your inbox changes. It is quite useful. But it is probably not a solution for non-it savvy users how don’t want to install all kinds of addons.

For the Google Wave meetup we in Copenhagen today, we did all the planning regarding the meeting in a wave. It did not work out. It was only three participants how showed up to the meetup, and it was all the presenters or organizers. I hope that it is just the weather, but think there could also be some part of the wave usage that could be different.

We did some mistakes that I will probably do again, but at least try to avoid.

• First we did a survey about when to have the meeting, and we had to change the time because it did not fit with the schedule of university where the event should be held.
• I also asked people to contribute and participate in create an agenda. Most people are not interested in giving presentations, but instead what to learn. Which is why the meeting is taking place.
• We did not send out reminder mails. It would probably be a good idea to send out reminder mails to all the involved participants in the wave a day or two before. Many people may have mute the wave so they don’t see it as a reminder that an upcoming event is taking place.
• Did not have a clear RSVP where people could indicate that they were going to attend.

So next time we are going to plan a meetup. We will create an agenda and a place a head of time and then add people to sign up to the event. I if they want then people can contribute to the agenda if they want more topics.

I will also send an email to all persons how have indicated that they would like to come or are coming. That will for me sometimes make it easier to attend.

Planning meetings might be something that will be much easier to do in 12sprints, since you have a much more controlled environment for creating decisions.

I talked with Jacques Holst about planning, and he said the web never had been a one communication strategy. I think we have to remember that there are many other forms of communication to look for.
