Google I/O 2009 – Day 2 Recap
May 29th, 2009 | Published in Google Code
Despite a late night letting loose at the After Hours party, developers managed to wake up in time for the early morning Day 2 keynote (after having been promised yet another exciting surprise). This morning, we unveiled an early look at Google Wave, a new collaboration and communication product. Lars and Jens Rasmussen and Stephanie Hannon presented the vision behind Google Wave and a live demo of it in action. All Google I/O attendees will receive developer sandbox accounts to test out and build on the Google Wave APIs.
