Tuesday ended with another Tele-Tech Tuesday video conference hosted by SOITA. The new topic was Google Wave, a new application from Google. The company seems to always be creating something new and Wave is no exception. Wave seems to be taking online communication to the next level. To me, it seems to be a combination of an IM (instant messenger), wikis and email. It takes the best of each piece and pulls it together to form sort of an 'all-in-one' communication and collaboration tool. You can chat instantly, drag and drop pictures, videos and other files right into the conversation thread, edit and save conversations (this works great to answer questions directly under the question rather in another message). You can also work on documents live with other people. I think this is going to be a great application with a few adjustments from Google. Wave is new and still in a testing phase. I'm sure Google will keep making improvements. It is worth checking out to see where web 2.o is headed!
