Google Wave

Google has announced the launch of it’s exciting new product, Google Wave, a real time platform which it says will be a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web.

So what exactly is a ‘Wave’ ?

According to Google, 

  • A  wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
  • A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
  • A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

You can ask to be notified when it’s ready.
