Comment on Paddling in Google’s Wave by Aaron

I’ve got to say that I agree with you. Google Wave has been a bit of a let down - the only time I used it was the day I got the invite - and maybe once again about a week later to see if anyone had posted anything to my Waves. But looking back, I’m not really sure what I was expecting - I guess the hype just got the better of me.

Thanks Greg, interesting stuff! I hadn’t considered the usefulness of the wheel in social searches. Great post.

Graham,
I love the Wonder Wheel!. It’s not only a great
feature, it’s got a great story behind it.

The idea comes from Jon Klienberg of Cornell who had
the concept of “Hubs” and “Authorities” back in 1999
when Brin and Page where developing PageRank (they
were aware of each other at the time and cited each
others papers).

Interestingly, both concepts were developed concurrently with Network Theory ( Kleinberg and
Network Theorist Duncan Watts were both at Cornell and
collaborated).
