Google Wants To Take Over Your Web
Google had a presentation for a room full of geeks a few days ago. They introduced Google Wave, a work in progress by the makers of Google Maps. Wave is being described as “What email would look like if it were invented today.” I just sat through the presentation and was blown away by all the features of Wave.
It’s a fairly long presentation. Basically Wave works to make everything you do to communicate and collaborate real time. The interface looks like Gmail but it’s not just about messages, it lets you create tons of content in an easy way that is able to be edited and added to by any one that is involved in that “Wave.” Want to reply to a particular part of a Wave? You can add content to a Wave anywhere you wish, like a comment. And all of this is done in a browser in real time. You can also add a new person to a Wave at any point and they would see that wave in it’s entirety. If this new person wants to see the Wave from when it first started there is a playback button that shows the Wave from the original content up to that point.
Google Wave
Google Wave is supposed to be released to the masses sometime later this year. There is an open API for developers that will allow Wave to be extended in tons of different ways. Google has big plans with this and looks like it’s trying to incorporate everything you do on the web into one place. Let’s hope Google is still the good guy.
