Google Wave
This is incredible technology:
I apologize for the length, but the material is fascinating. Even once in a while I wonder if we will ditch the metaphor of “mail” (e-mail) on the Internet. This emerging technology looks interesting.
And for those of you who want the quick summary from Google’s Site:
What is a wave?
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.
