Google Wave What is it

Google Wave brings together instant messaging, e-mail, forums and wikis into one large messaging platform. The inception of the concept was born out of the question: “What would e-mail be like if it were invented today”. And Google Wave was the answer.

A ‘Wave’ is equal parts documentation and conversation. People can communicate and work together using richly formatted text, images and photos, maps, video and much more. However this programme isn’t actually going to be released until later this year, still to be confirmed.

This is what happens with Google Wave. You create a wave and invite whoever you want onto it. These people on your wave can now invite others to join the conversation, or collaboration. Using richly formatted text, pictures, photos, video, feeds from other sources and gadgets, you will see on your screen almost instantly what your fellow wavers are typing and adding. In this way Google Wave is a suitable tool for both quick messages and for more continuous content. And a key tool in the wave is the ability to rewind to access previous information and to see how the wave evolved.

So here is a summary of what Google Wave is and what it offers.

Instant messaging – You can talk live to people on the wave to discuss ideas and options. As the wave is real time the conversations are live.

Editable – Any information written on the wave can be edited by any other user on the wave. This allows for real time updates and corrections to information within the wave.

Drag and Drop File Sharing – Just as it says, you don’t need attachment you can simply drag and drop a file into the wave.

Playback – You can rewind and review any part of the wave to see what has already been said.

Embedding – Google Waves can be embedded on websites and blogs.

Natural Language – Your wave can auto correct spelling mistakes, and even has the ability to auto translate (Just like ‘google translate’)

As well as all this the application is open source. This means that the wave code will be available to developers to alter and improve, leading to greater and faster innovation of the wave.

The brains behind Google Wave are a team based in Sydney, Australia, the core team being two brothers, Jens and Lars Rasmussen, and a lead project manager Stephanie Hannon. This team were also heavily involved in the development of Google Maps and so they have an excellent track record and pedigree.
