Google come in peace... Wave Federation now activated
I'm not quite ready to reveal just how geeky I am, so I'll spare you the massive deluge of Star Trek jokes. My apologies in advance if one or two slip past your shields.Anyway... Over on the Google Wave Developer Blog they've just announced that they're ready to start implementing the federation of Wave servers. This doesn't mean a whole lot to most of us, only that it means the Borg Collectiv-- er, The Google Wave Team, is plodding ever onwards, driven by its impulse engines towards some kind of epic singularity where all email servers will be wiped out and replaced with Wave servers.

With the open specification and open source nature of Wave it will be interesting to see what other developers are hiding up their sleeves
[On a side note, our great Google Wave invite giveaway was a great success. There should be more news about that later today -- and the lucky winners should start to receive their invites in the next few days!]

Fighting words or not, it would still do to make the proper references, so you can at least make the proper puns, or else everything's shiny.

I know my Firefly references. Star Trek is more accessible.
Apologies if it did not entirely satisfy...!

No worries, any geek fun can be suitable in the long run. ^_^
