Wow x2. Yes, that’s Google I/O day two = wow x2. Vic Gundotra wasn’t kidding when he had some more surprises up his sleeve at Google I/O 2009. Wave was amazing to say the least.
Normally in these presentations you get the typical echo-chamber response to events.. lots of hype etc.. but this is really impressive.

Some have suggested that they have looked at Facebook connect and other web properties to guide them over time. Maybe they did.. It’s irrelevant. They’ve achieved some really neat stuff, plus they open sourced it.
