Everyone is still searching for what exactly Google Wave’s role will be in the web going forward. We think it’s still too early to tell, but one man, Joe Sabia, has put together maybe the most impressive Wave demonstration yet. Is he doing something extremely useful? No. He’s using it to reenact scenes from Pulp Fiction and Good Will Hunting. The result is brilliant.
“I used Pulp Fiction to show features, usability, and overall functionality for an audience that has yet to see Google Wave. It’s engaging and fun,” Sabia writes to us. And while he may not be doing something like working or using Wave to replace email, he is showing the potential of using a platform that is very dynamic.
More importantly, it’s hilarious. And it features two excellent scenes from two great movies, reenacted, in Wave. Watch below (obligatory NSFW warning).
Seems like Wave Errors are already in and google is asking for users to send suggestions to Dr Wave
“Everyone is still searching for what exactly Google Wave’s roll will be in the web going forward”
I think I speak for most people when I say it will be a nice, crusty ciabatta.
i was thinking a royale with cheese.
Might be a Fosbury Flop instead of a Western Roll
And that is why the Internet is always going to not do what you want it to. It will never be controlled.
Role people, role. Not roll!
This is amazing.
Agreed.
Even Twitter didn’t inspire this kind of creativity. Still doesn’t.
Twitter only catalyzes the least creative of human endeavors, such as novel writing.
“Google Wave’s roll”? It’s “ROLE” not “ROLL”. Sheesh.
Thanks for the clarification! I was starting to get a bit hungry
lol, good one… Becky Grant
in all caps?
heh. sorry, it was late and i was hungry.
impressive
p.s.
‘Good Will Hunting’ is not a “great movie”.
Thankfully we have you here to tell us what’s good and bad so we’re clear on it.
We have built a nice application around our Ticket system. Where customers can pay money for a per task development service for iPhone, Android, PHP, JavaScript, RUBY, etc. and using WAVE we can see the tickets that were done at a specific time. Customers often ask me “what tickets were completed today”. I often say (in my head) who the fuck knows!!!). But using WAVE we can allow customers to play it back to see for themselves. “Damn customers!!!”.
I could have used something like this when I watched Mulholland Drive. It might have actually made some sense.
It will be interesting to see what roll Gwave plays in real-time communication and sharing. Until the kinks are worked out, I say we just role with it.
I was sitting here eating a cinnamon role and a thought occurred to me… Regardless of Gwave’s roll in the future of the internet, rest assured, it will evolve into something fantastic because that’s how Google Roles!
Am I the only person who doesn’t think Wave is that cool? It’s just IM with pictures and video, who cares.
It’s permanent, I don’t have to install it on my computer, it’s easy to code extensions for it through their api, i can share videos in it, google docs (hopefully soon), and basically anything else. It’s more organized than email. It also tames my anger about the static aspect of email and the back and forth sending of attachments, replies and yea the “> > >” in the body.
I would totally use it over email… it’s gonna have the fax phenomenon as more people have it.
Wow. I can’t believe I watched the entire thing. Pretty creative, but for me it emphasized how Google Wave is randomizing and noisy. But then again, I barely twitter, and don’t feel obliged to immediately answer my cell phone.
I also let emails sit for a while and IMs remain flashing on my desktop. Life is good.
Try it.

Oh wait . .. I think I just got it. This is the new “IM”
Multiple people. Rich media potentially + it can last days.
As long as people aren’t annoying, this could be cool.

Awesome video! On ViralBlog Joe Sabia shares more info about the realization of the video, check http://bit.ly/4z0mh0
Couldn’t this be done in Text Editor? What makes this uniquely a wave experience?
Remember when we had printed text with little pictures to infer of some of the words… it was fun back in the sixties
That guy is CLICKING “Done” instead of using shift-enter to finish a blip?! Disgusting.
sooooo why would I want to use wave????
if I wanted motion graphics..

I guess you could have movies characters as robots…sometimes rather than respond to someone you could just invite Samuel L in and turn him loose to lay the smackdown on them.
Who cares about Wave when this guy stitches together the best piece of dialogue in decades. i do it better than Samuel Jackson himself and Mr What…muvafucker
YouTube does it better.
Videos went down.
they’re back up. they were incorrectly taken down in error by YouTube but back up now. thanks everyone!
Yawwwn!
Wave might be original but this idea certainly ain’t–
Yahoo! did it a couple of years ago:
