More importantly: how can we make sure that a wave and anything that refers to it will NEVER, EVER be crawled? If GW is supposed to replace IM, BBS, E-mail, etc. then sure as hell do I not want potentially private conversations show up on a google search, just because someone somewhere posted a snippet from that wave, or a link to something somewhere. It has to be insured that something that is supposed to be private cannot become public by means of some backdoor opened up through a reference to it. If someone quotes part of an e-mail, that usually does not make the entire conversation public. But computer morons are the rule rather than the exception, so someone posting a link to a wave or embedding a wave, rather than some snippet of text from a wave is a very likely outcome... So I'd rather waves be un-crawlable unless a special member or bot is added to the wave explicitly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Wave API" group.
