A while back in January I wrote a post titled Top 10 Uses for Wave…Right Now! In that post my number one use was for coding, here was what I wrote back then:
Coding. This is my number one use case for Google Wave right now. You have got to try it. You do not need to be ocean’s apart, in fact…being in the same room right next to each other works best. Try it…you will agree with me that this is the number one…by far…best use case of Google Wave right now! Also, there are some pretty good extensions out there you might want to try. Take at look at the extension list if you want to try one or two.
Well…., now there is a really, really great extension out there…brought to you by the folks at wave-vs.net…..check it out:
I can’t tell you how happy I was to find this site. Funny enough it just showed up on my site here on Friday as a Google Ad. I clicked on it and was amazed. I find it very interesting that Google is not extoiling all about these guys on their own blogs. Also, I found it funny that the story of the day on Friday was all about how cool it would be to imbed a Wave as an iFrame! Are you kidding me! There was also some other lame post going around about live blogging with Wave that made a lot of noise on Twitter. Useless! Stupid! I really am getting very disheartened with how this being marketed and how that marketing is seemingly embraced by Google. Really missing the big boat guys!
Regardless…I definitely digress! wave-vs.net is a great leap in Google Wave extensions. These guys have taken the one thing that this technology is really, really useful for…right now…and made a excellent product that they can take to market. Yes, take to market. wave-vs.net is not free. In fact, price list ranges for $65 to $1100 EUR depending on your package. That, in my business mind, is the best news to hit Google Wave since Google I/O 09….somebody is going to make profit of this product and develop serious extensions that are very useful and will be a game-changer for those that will use it for development.
For that alone I am naming the wave-vs.net folks as our April Developer Spotlight. Congratulations guys (and girls) you have truly made a great product that will be heartly embraced by any developers who give it a try. Here is a little bit more about Wave-vs.net that I took from there website:

For those of you that can’t wait to rush over to wave-vs.net and use this, please come on back and leave a comment regarding your experience with the extension. Also, feel free to leave a comment on my earlier rant if you wish.
As a disclaimer I am in no way getting any type of financial commission or royalty from this product (other then it randomly showing up as a Google Ad). I stand to gain nothing whatsoever from the developers. I am just very keen on what they are offering as I see it as truly making Google Wave better for all.
