Let's Do The Wave

My Google Wave Experience -

I was one of the lucky ones to receive a Google Wave invite. If you aren't yet familiar with Google Wave yet, I would suggest checking out this YouTube video:

It is a long video, but it is very cool as it shows so many of the features of wave, some of which are not available in the preview version.

Wave is a way to communicate and collaborate in real time. For chatting, it acts more as a real conversation would, I can see what the other person is typing and actually formulate and start typing my response as I am reading their message. Drag and Drop features, API's, Extensions, and mobile abilities are some of the features that make Google Wave so user friendly, fun, and useful.

So here I am, I am producing this document in Google Wave. If I wanted, I could colaborate on this document right here in Wave with my friends or co-workers.

Wave is real time, so as I am typing this paragraph, they can be editing the last one for me! What a great time saver that can be! The video above was as easy as pasting a URL into this document and Wave asked me if I would like to embed the video, it actually detected that it was a video link all on its own. Smart, huh?

I see how this will be a great tool in the workplace. The ability to collaborate on any document with such ease, make travel plans complete with Maps together on line, update your blog from a wave, leave a tweet on Twitter, play games together, search and organize your waves, combine bits and pieces of waves together to make a new document, even chat with others that speak a different language than you, the possibilities are seemingly endless with Wave.

Come along on my Wave journey. I will update frequently on my experiences with Wave and how you may want to use it when your time comes:) Let's make some Waves!
