Speaking “geek” to the masses

I have read a lot about the forthcoming launch of Google Wave and although not fortunate enough to be sent an invite I have read a number of independent blogs (unsurprisingly Google overloads their first 4-5 pages with Google referenced material!). The blog opinions seem to vary - from “it is like a new mobile phone with no one to call or text” to the fact that poeple believe it will become a “conference staple” and replace Twitter - the main conclusion seems to be in the words of web worker daily “It still has way too much geek cred to dismiss outright.” I looked on the site and found a confusing and long intro video so it was hugely refreshing to see that they have also produced a very entertaining video on You Tube to explain it better. It uses the famous scene from Pulp Fiction where Samuel L Jackson uses, in the words of wikipedia , ” a baleful “biblical” pronouncement”.
It is not only entertaning and memorable but also works well to explain something that is complicated and detailed. Watch it here and see what you think.
