My staff was incredibly impressed and gave it a big tick!

Chief programmer at KayWeb, Ian dela Cruz described it best in his blog titled 'Google on its way to web domination?'

Ian highlighted the fact that making the program unconditionally open source was going to increase Google's monopoly as the internet's most dominant company.

He wrote: "One true step for Google in World (maybe Web would be a better word) Domination is making Google Wave open source. That means anyone can download the software and upload it to their server. If Google Wave becomes successful, then Google will be living inside the majority of the world's servers."

This is both interesting and true. What appealed to us developers most is we can self-brand Wave however we like, and host our clients' Wave products and solutions on our servers. This makes potential competition sit up and say... why would we recreate to compete with Wave, when we can easily use this framework and innovate from there?

Most of us currently use Microsoft Office products like Word, Excel, Outlook, etc. The reason for Microsoft's domination in this space is that Office is on your Windows-equipped computers when you purchase them, as a default.

With Google Wave, you can do all of the things Office allows, plus a thousand times more including be interactive, and you will only need a web browser.

Popular browsers are Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.

Wave is well-set for dominance... trust me!

To finish, here is another quote from Ian's blog: "My fearless forecast is that one day, email will be a thing of the past and Wave will dominate us all. I can see my Managing Director Haig Kayserian asking me to 'wave him an update' or 'start a wave to discuss KayWeb's next brilliant business idea!"
