Yesterday I spent some time investigating Google Wave. A very interesting new product from Google. Not only that but an interesting protocol.
If you think about it, Google has mostly only used other protocols for communication in the past, now it’s creating it’s own. They clearly want to create a completely new protocol that will effectively be the future of these old primitive protocols.
For this to catch on, it will either have to run directly along side smtp and xmmp or layer on top of them.
We’re going to need a way to pass requests over http to smtp or pop3/imap, and what better way to do it than with gmail?

This week i’ve been tweaking a little site I’ve started called “ismybrowseruptodate.com“, which is designed to assist people who don’t know whether their browser is up-to-date or not.
At first I thought this would be simple, because I knew jQuery had browser detection and had a variable called jQuery.browser.version, which would be very useful for checking the browser version, or so I thought.
