Most Revealing Google Wave Comment
Friday, 29 May 2009
Everybody’s atwitter (yeah, sue me) about the Google Wave developer preview. Lots of new stuff there, but for me the most revealing comment, almost a throwaway, was here:
Did we mention we use Squid?
In other words, Google’s hot new, Web 2.0-on-steroids HTML5 XMPP++ open social platform buzzword generator works well with, indeed relies upon (for the purposes of making a nice demo) a more than 15-year-old piece of nearly-forgotten (in some quarters) Web infrastructure.
That’s pretty cool.
Update: This was a combination of me mishearing them, and their use of a jargon-y internal term in external communication. Sigh.
