I got my new Google Wave Demo Account. It is very, very alpha, but the concept is pretty awesome. I saw a funny “wave” and thought I would share.
Here is a list of Evolving Google Wave Terminology:
Sea Sick When a wave is way too busy with activity, causing dizziness
Wavejacking When you post a wave and someone hijacks the contents to where it no longer resembles the original idea
Ocean/Beach/Treasure Chest! New Name for the Inbox
Ocean New Name for the Wave Server
Puddle A private conversation
Lake A private conversation with a lot of people
Puddle Jumper Someone who has lots of private conversations at the same time, for the Atlantis Fans
Drip Stupid question no one answers
Borking Putting stupid bots in the wave. (aka The Swedish Chef or rickrolley or the borkforceone bot)
Borked A wave that has been destroyed by useless bots.
De-Borking Getting rid of stupid bots in a wave.
Fishing Finding Waves which interest you
Tidal Wave/Overflow A wave that is too busy and you get the “Wave of Death” message
Tsunami A wave that insta-crashes the client.
Tuna AKA Spam
Dyke/Dike Spamfilter
Waveticate Appropriate behavior on waves
Wavepocalypse – Point at which a wave turns from conversation to group free-for-all.
Rip Tide When someone jumps into an edit and starts changing the point (or arguing with you)
