Wave and news

When Google Wave was announced, I got all jittery-happy about the possibilities it presented for news. Now, from a Belgian site, via a German site, I find a video interview with Wave’s project manager, Stephanie Hannon, speculating about its use in news:

Google Wave, une opportunité pour les journalistes ? from Labs RTBF on Vimeo.

In that video, the interviewer asked about the newsroom moving to the cloud. But in this one, Sergey Brin says it’s already there:

    Hi Jeff,

    Thank you for picking up my videos with Google guys at I/O. I was truly amazed by the possibilities of the Wave for my newsroom (and the others). In this other video, we played into the wave with other journalist and it is really really impressive how the mecanisms behind a real-time collaboration/diffusion between people (journalists and pro-am) all around the clock could change The way we produce news. BTW, this is the very beginning and the wave have so many improvements to do before selling anything to newsconsummers … except maybe a kind of philosophy :-)

    You’r one of the guy that I respect the more and all you said during those 3-4 last years had convinced my that my job would never be the same because of the web, and sharing stuff and passion. So thank you again for this post !

    Sincerely,
    Damien
