It is a personal communication and collaboration software introduced by Google during its I/O Conference last May 27, 2009.

Google Wave is a combination of web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol that is aimed towards merging e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. At first, it was only designed for developers but now it has been distributed to almost 1 million users starting September 2009. The first 100,000 users were permitted to bring in between 20 to 30 additional users. Here is a sneak peak as to how Google Wave works:

A “wave” is a combination of equal parts of conversation and document. It has three distinct features. First, it allows communication and collaboration using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, among others. Another distinct feature of a wave is that it it allows multiple users to respond to a message, edit contents, or have another user join the conversation. Third, Google Wave offers real-time conversations. You can actually see every character of what the other users are typing.
One strong feature of Google Wave is that rather than using multiple tools for ideas, menus, RSVPs, or suggested ideas, you can incorporate them into a single tool. Likewise, it allows the utilization of gadgets to add weather or maps to the event.

In addition, Google Wave frees you from the hassle of sending e-mail attachments or several copies in order to generate feedbacks, draft or discuss contents using only a single software. If you are fond of sharing photos with your friends or relatives, you simply have to drag and drop a picture from your desktop to a wave. The good thing with this feature is that other people can add their own pictures and you can easily come up with a photo album in no time.


These are just some of the power-packed features that Google Wave offers to its users. One thing is clear though: it will change the way people communicate that in no time at all, you will see a lot of people joining the bandwagon.
