Google Wave - Google I/O
The Google Wave site is now up and running, although access to the application will be restricted. Google Wave is a new communication service previewed today at Google I/O. 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.
Google Wave has been designed by the founders of Where 2 Tech, a start-up acquired by Google to create a cutting-edge mapping service, which later became Google Maps.
Want to publish a wave to a blog? No problem. A tool called “Bloggy” allows you to publish the entire wave, which can itself be updated like a normal wave.
The service seems to combine Gmail and Google Docs into an interesting free-form workspace that could be used to write documents collaboratively, plan events, play games or discuss a recent news.
