If you have not heard of Wave, below is the snippet from Google Wave about page:

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.

I first heard of this new tool a couple months ago when they first released it to the presses and out of curiosity joined their invite list. Read a little bit about various articles, pubs and blog entries about it and the way it was described was pretty exciting, although I really did not get the overall depth, power and potential of this tool until I watched this loooooooooong video:

If that long video (nearly hour and a half)  is way too long for you, you want to consider this brief summary:

Well I haven’t really fully tested the system and a key aspect of this collaboration tool is that you actually need other people to collaborate with. The Wave e-mail said:

Once you’ve signed in:

  • Check out the videos and example waves
  • Invite others to join you

So if you are interested in waving with me, Contact Me and I’ll send you an invite.
