Google, SAP, and Salesforce.com Could Save Credit Markets and Journalism | paulwilkinson.com on 2009-11-03
- The main points of Friday’s memo were to advance the idea that giving all market participants the same information simultaneously helps markets work better and to generate interest in having the U.S. compete (or less likely cooperate) with Europe to create a working and transparent market.

- - The Google Wave preview features several videos labeled “Promising Prototypes.” The prototypes are from SAP, Salesforce.com, and the MediaWiki Wave Project. The MediaWiki video is interesting and has a great soundtrack. More to the point of saving the credit markets, the SAP video concerns the development of financial services products. The Salesforce video wasn’t working at YouTube last time I tried it, but the “response” posted there (which pre-dates the Wave video) shows how easy it is to code these days.
    
    So how do you mash-up these various services to solve the credit crisis? Just start mashing with a simple goal in mind: make timely material information available simultaneously to the largest possible market. As many have noted, much or all of the information necessary to generate prices for asset-backed securities already exists in databases. The trick is making it available somehow for the market to use.
The Real Meaning Of Google Wave - Forbes.com on 2009-11-03
- Wave is a new way to build distributed applications, and it will open the door to an explosion of innovation.
- So, if Wave is not just the demo application, what is it?
  Google Wave is a platform for creating distributed applications. Each Wave server can be involved in a number of conversations involving Wavelets, what most people would think of as a document. Wavelets are actually a much more powerful and general because they are based on XML, which means you can have lots of depth of content, like headings and subheadings of a book, but on steroids. Adding a document repository to XMPP is just revolutionary.

- - The XMPP protocol manages the communication between the Wave servers so that all the Wavelets can synchronize as they are changed. Then Google finished the job by making Wavelets tag-able, searchable and versioned, so you can play back changes.
    But Google Wave goes beyond just managing the content--it also manages the programs that act on the content. At any level, a program can be assigned to a Wavelet to render it, that is, show it to a user and help manage the conversation. Google Wave also manages the distribution and management of these programs. The idea of a platform that combines management of the data and the code is really powerful.
