I’ve been a bit harsh on the way Google Wave was launched, but I stand by the comments.
What was missing? A PG version of these videos by Whirled Interactive. They feature a the Wave animal-beast roaming free in the wild and a goofy transcription of some epic movie scenes.
These videos are NOT SAFE FOR WORK if you have outward facing monitors or a work situation that requires sensitivity, or if you have a humorless douchebag of a boss who’s installed spyware on your tubes. But a tamer version of something active and entertaining like this is what Wave needed to get the ball rolling. Hrm … were these ‘unofficial’ videos actually paid for by Google? Or simply, and more likely, a way for Whirled to capture some attention? I’m too cynical to judge.
