Wave

So I skipped over the first few newsposts I saw about it, thinking it looked like just hype, but now I've watched the video and read the documentation, and it's actually sounding pretty sweet.

It's useful and easy enough that it will pick up an user base, it's powerful and extendible enough that developers are going to do some sweet stuff, and it's actually open (will be), so people can run their own servers, like with email.

There's abuse potential, but I guess spam is in some ways a solved problem by now, and servers are authenticated, so no spoofing.

So, are you waiting for the Emacs mode? Already poking at the (awful) Python bot API? Sticking to YTalk? Thoughts?

Google I/O is a very corny name for a conference. Google was much easier to like when they didn't try to call atention to themselves with shit like that.
