The Economic Waves of Google Wave

I gave a talk recently titled "A Strategic View of Wave" and concluded that Wave will change everything. Here are my speaker's notes if you would like to read my first take. Better, I will be expanding on them here, so follow the feed.

The meeting gave Atlanta a bit of angular momentum around Wave. But, I wondered, how can we achieve cyclone?

The next day, a briefing on a strategy for Atlanta economic development was released by the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.The study briefing is linked at Optimism Abounds on a New Economic Development Strategy.

I am awestruck by the huge oppotunity, for Atlanta and for each of us! To begin the conversation I offer this matrix of the economic wave that will accompany Google Wave.


Economic Waves of Google Wave


I was at Google I/O in May. Since then I have been thinking about the ecosystem of Wave extensions and a web enabled by a fast auction layer. For the next year I'll be devoting my energy to these by advocacy, strategic consulting and demos.

Let's build a Wave industry in Atlanta.
