Google Wave is a product coming soon that helps users communicate and collaborate on the web.

A "wave" is equal parts conversation and document, where users can instantly communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. The concurrency control technology will let participants reply anywhere in the message, edit the content at the same time and add participants at any point in the process. The program also allows anyone to rewind the wave to see how it has evolved.

Google Wave is also a platform with a rich set of open APIs that allow developers to embed waves in other web services and to build extensions that work inside waves.

Twitter, Facebook & IM, Watch Out!

In an earlier review of Getting Productive with Google Apps, I wrote about how great working on the cloud can be and how revolutionary the concept of the cloud was for smaller businesses. Well, time to take your head out of the clouds for a minute and go on a surf on Google's latest, potentially revolutionary project, The Wave. The Wave is actually just another part of the cloud, but unlike most other cloud computing mediums, it also has a social media aspect … more

Great Potential

A private "preview" was given out earlier this week. Google has always been on the cutting edge of technology. They've been innovating how the internet works... from Gmail to Google Maps. But this time, Google has created a whole new beast on its own. Wave is a communications tool. It allows multiple users to collaborate on a single "wave"--a topic, item, or whatever--in real time. … more

Google Wave: What's the hype?

Okay... I'm going against the grain here and stating that I don't get it. I simply do not get the hype surrounding Google Wave. After figuring out that you had to have an invite (yeah I got one - thanks B3) and sitting through the most boring, over an hour (you read that right) tutorial, I sat down to give it a go. It reminds me of an early-day AOL chat room gone bad converged with a modern-day wiki-like communications environment. Dare I call this Chatiki? … more

Super Mini Review of Google Wave

Did not get to use most of its features, just a brief chat with devora , but it is very similar to an old chat program we used to use before the year 2000 called PowWow where you could actually see the words people type as they type them. A little weird but familiar to me at the same time. The wave can also be persistant and other people can read it too, which is interesting, it can also play video inside as well, so its great for sharing links and just BSing with friends. … more

Google wave

Google wave is one of the best e-mail clients because it is not only a e-mail but messenger as well in a way. This changes the way we will talk to each other and will change how we get together simply by using widgets. Google wave uses widgets/bots to make make stuff easier for all of us, for example if you want to know who will be coming to the to a wedding, you can just add the yes or no gadgets to your wave and people can click yes no or maybe instead of responding … more

Brief and Simple Overview of Google Wave

Since most people are nerds or wannabe nerds lately (or almost forcibly nerds due to the ever-growing world of technology), I suspect that most of you have heard the term "Google Wave" in the recent months. It started out as a small murmur amongst techies and is gradually becoming more and more talk-worthy. Not everyone cares to understand or use this new process of online communication, but with inundation of social media in today's society, even internet novices are curiously asking … more
