Google Wave
Google wave: A “wave” is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
Here’s how it works: In Google Wave you create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on your wave can use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets, and even feeds from other sources on the web. They can insert a reply or edit the wave directly. It’s concurrent rich-text editing, where you see on your screen nearly instantly what your fellow collaborators are typing in your wave. That means Google Wave is just as well suited for quick messages as for persistent content — it allows for both collaboration and communication. You can also use “playback” to rewind the wave and see how it evolved.
If you’d like to be notified when Google launches Wave as a public product, you can sign up at http://wave.google.com. They don’t have a specific time frame for public release, but they’re planning to continue working on Google Wave for a number of months more as a developer preview. Google is excited to see what feedback they get from their early tinkerers, and they will undoubtedly make lots of changes to the Google Wave product, platform, and protocol as they go.
