Is Google Wave 'The Email of the Future?'
Colleagues,
As reported in Online Media Daily ... The "Wave" is coming!
If only as a developer preview, Google revealed Thursday what it's billing as "the email of the future."
Named Google Wave, the experimental project is the result of a multiyear initiative to reinvent digital communication by blending e-mail, instant messaging, and content sharing into something resembling a cross between Twitter, Facebook, and your standard email platform.
Google Wave, which is expected to be released later this year, will "combine conversation-type communication and collaboration-type communication," Lars Rasmussen, a software engineering manager at Google and the project's co-founder, said during the Google I/O conference on Thursday.
"A 'wave' is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more," Rasmussen said.
In Google Wave, users create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on their wave can use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets, and even feeds from other sources on the Web.
Users can then 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," said Rasmussen.
