Google Wave,a Tool for Effective Communication
In fact,Google Wave seems to be one of those tools that’s extremely difficult to explain to those who haven’t started using it. One way to think of it is as a collection of threaded e-mail conversations and instantaneous messaging. Rich content, together with Google maps, interactive polling, videos and much more, can be embedded in conversations (known as waves). Additionally, the rich content is live and interactive. As an example,if you embed a Google map, all members in the conversation can utilize it as if they were on the Google Maps site.All the above features makes for a kind of profound collaboration that’s impossible with more conventional means of Internet communication. Theoretically, Google Wave can help groups distribute information, take decisions and actions faster.In practice,however, it’s difficult to predict the future of Google Wave, as most people still prefer to use the traditional e-mail.
Presently,Google Wave is still in a fairly strongly controlled, invitation-only beta. Considering that it’s free, however, when it becomes public, or if you’re fortunate enough to obtain an invite, it’s definitely worth to test it out, just for the “coolness” factor.For further details, check wave.google.com
