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.
Get to know more from Youtube introducing the new Google WAVE.
Google Wave Developer Preview presentation at the Day 2 Keynote of Google I/O.
Google Wave will be sending out more than 100,000 invitations to preview Google Wave starting from today (Oct 30, 2009). It's like when Gmail first launch on web. We need invitation to register for it. But how to get the Google Wave golden key?
Who will have the privilege to get the invites now ?
- Developers who have been active in the developer preview which started back in June
- The first users who signed up and offered to give feedback on wave.google.com
- Select business and university customers of Google Apps
- Early users can nominate people they know to receive the early invitations.
Google Wave seems fun after watching the Keynote above. Hope to have a change to try it out soon.
But there is nothing we can do now... just to wait for the fate of luck for invitations from Google Wave or lucky Early users whom you may know.
