Google Wave Due Out Next Summer!

The idea evolved from Google Maps. The brainstorm went something like this: How could we combine instant messenging, Facebook, Document Sharing, and email all in one application? And Google Wave was born.

Here’s how it works: In Google Wave you create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on your wave can use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets, and even feeds from other sources on the web. They can insert a reply or edit the wave directly. It’s concurrent rich-text editing, where you see on your screen nearly instantly what your fellow collaborators are typing in your wave. That means Google Wave is just as well suited for quick messages as for persistent content — it allows for both collaboration and communication. You can also use “playback” to rewind the wave and see how it evolved. – Google
