What is Wave and what is all the hype about?

According to Google it’s “a personal communication and collaboration tool”.

In other words, imagine email, instant messaging, files sharing, social networking and collaboration software all in one easy to use interface.

Cool Features:

Drag and Drop Sharing: This means no more browsing folders to add an attachment to your posts. Share documents, files and media with other users as if you were all sharing the same desktop.

Synchronous Postings:
This means live email, where you can edit and update posts in real time. Not only your own posts, but others in your group as well.

Live Collaboration:
Files, posts and docs can be updated and edited by anyone authorized in your group and the changes are seen live as they happen.

New Web Experience: Wave will change the way we view and think of the web. It will look and feel more like a desktop application and less like a browser experience.

Open Source/New Protocol:
Because its open source, we can expect thousands of cool new apps for the platform and with a brand new protocol created and backed by Google, the web itself is about to be completely changed.

As Google nears its release date, we will see additional features and integration with our favorite apps and sites. Until then, I will keep you updated with all the latest developments. I’m very excited.
