Google Wave

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave have faster conversations, see live edits and interact with extensions, all in real-time.

Google Wave combines aspects of email, instant messaging, wikis, web chat, social networking, and project management to build one elegant, in-browser communication client. You can also add a gadget to a wave to play live interactive games online with your friends.

A wave can also be a conversation and a document where a number of people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

Google Wave works like other online messaging systems like email and Usenet, but instead of sending a message along with its thread of previous messages, or requiring all responses to be stored in each user's inbox for context, message documents (referred to as waves) that contain complete threads of multimedia messages (blips) are perpetually stored on a central server. Waves are shared with collaborators who can be added to or removed from the wave at any point during a wave's existence.

Google will also allow third-parties to build their own Wave services as quickly as possible (be it private or commercial) because it wants the Wave protocol to replace the e-mail protocol.

At the moment Google Wave is a brand new application and to participate you need to supply your email address to Google in order for them to notify you when more Google Wave invitations are available.

As of November, 2009, Google Wave is still in active development and is expected to remain in development until late 2009.
