Google Wave – Yet another *hot* product from Google

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="360" caption="Google Wave"][/caption]

Google has announced another wonderful tool that enables you to stay in touch with your friends more easily than ever before – Google Wave. This another tool from Google is sure to hand over online communication in it’s hands. Google could have a long list of reasons behind that or it could be just one more attempt to take over Facebook, Twitter and all since it’s Orkut is not that popular.

Google Wave is going to be bundled with a whole lot of new features that no application I know has. Google says that all the action happens as a Wave. You create it, you and your friends modify it so that you and all your friends can see it. That sounds pretty simple but Wave has many things in it to create and modify. A wave can contain

1. Richly formatted text


2. Photos


3. Gadgets


4. Feeds


5. And many more things (yet to be built!)

The main thing that makes it stand out from the rest is its concurrency. Any number of users can edit the Wave simultaneously and everyone will have their wave updated as the editor edits it. You can also rewind to see how the changes got effected. This is really a cool functionality that no application has.

However it’s going to be released on September 30 of this year only to a 100,000 special invites. It is perhaps going to adopt the GMail invite feature. But those 100,000 special invites are going to be very lucky.

Google Wave is completely open source so that the Developer community can dig in and do something that even Google couldn’t do ( Google doesn’t say that but it translates to the same )! Even a plugin for Wordpress is being developed.

Whatsoever, Google Wave, according to the hype it currently is creating, is going to make Google the real monarch of internet communcation.
