Een tijdje geleden had niemand nog gehoord van Google Wave, laat staan dat we iets wisten van een Google Wave Robot.

Wat is een Google Wave Robot ?

In Google Wave is het mogelijk om samen een conversatie (wave) op te bouwen. Een Google Wave Robot kan “meeluisteren” met deze wave en op bepaalde gebeurtenissen (events) binnen deze wave acties uitvoeren. Zo zijn er al verschillende Robots op het internet te vinden, zoals een spellingschecker (Spelly) een huizensite Robot van jaap.nl (Jaapy) en vele anderen. Aan de naamgeving van Robots is ook gedacht, het is de trend om deze te laten eindigen op “y”. Pak een naam, plaats er een “y” achter en je hebt een naam voor een Robot.

Een Google Wave Robot maakt zich bekend binnen Google Wave op een zgn Bot adres, bijv spelly@appspot.com. Het toevoegen van dit adres als contact in Google Wave zorgt ervoor dat je gebruik kan maken van de Robot. Bij het aanmaken van een nieuwe Wave kan je een robot toevoegen. Dit doe je door deze naar de wave te slepen vanuit je lijst met contacten. Nu is de Robot actief binnen de wave. De Robot kan nu allerlei acties uitvoeren op events binnen de wave.

Er zijn vele Robots te vinden op internet. een redelijke lange lijst is hier te vinden  : http://wavety.com/google-wave-gadgets-and-robots/

Veel plezier met de Robots !

En mischien wordt deze song wel weer een hit, “A Good Year for the Robots” van de Nederlandse band Coparck.
