Google Wave
I just watched this amazing video of a live presentation at Google’s I/O Developer Conference, May 27 – 28, 2009 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The video shows the Day 2 morning presentation where a new Google software product and technology is introduced and demonstrated. This product is being developed by a team at Google lead by the same brothers (Lars and Jens Rasmussen) who also gave us Google Maps (one of my favorites)!
Google Wave has a good chance of fundamentally changing the way we think about and use computer/devices to communicate with each other. I think you’ll see why when you watch this video.
Here’s what Lars Rasmussen posted on the Official Google Blog site about this product:
A “wave” is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
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.
