Google Wave API

Google is building APIs that allow developers to use and build on Google Wave by way of:

• Extensions, program robots to automate common tasks and/or build gadgets to extend or change user interaction (e.g., posting blips on microblog feeds or providing RSVP recording mechanisms).
• Embed, dropping interactive windows into a given wave on external site, blogs, etc.

What is Google Wave?

Google Wave is "a personal communication and collaboration tool" announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009.

It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking.

It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by extensions that can provide, for example, spelling/grammar checking, automated translation among 40 languages, and numerous other extensions.

Initially released only to developers, a "preview release" of Google Wave was extended to nearly 1 million users beginning September 30, 2009, with the initial 100,000 users each allowed to invite up to twenty additional users.
