Google Wave

ohhaileah:

Since my Tumblr is acting fishy and I am unable to post responses to people, I am going to put this here. I’m new to it and haven’t really worked a lot of it out. I hope this helps anyone with questions about it.

What is Google Wave, you ask?

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration.

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

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.

I frequently compare it to a combination of similar technologies such as facebook + Microsoft Live Meeting / Net Meeting + blog + event scheduling.
