I have started to have a play with Google Wave, a new online communications tool that enables groups of people to edit and discuss documents simultaneously on the web.

To be honest, it’s got me a bit confused so I’m looking for a guide.

” The Google Wave team says Wave is ‘what email would look like if it were invented today.’ However, because Wave is mostly a document collaboration tool, the oversimplified email metaphor can mislead new users. The initial Wave experience can feel chaotic and confusing, but use cases for Wave abound” – Gina Trapini and Adam Pash

Here’s a quick, fun video to explain

I love the line - “Kick it, grab a margarita and watch your communication..ness (a new word?) sore “

At the moment I’m not sure if Google Wave will live up to all the hype.

Here’s what IT Pro had to say:

“Google Wave has been the most hyped product on the internet since the introduction of Google’s Gmail. We take a look at what it’s got to offer and ask if it really is going to replace email.”

It seems maybe a little complex so far, but that could just be me

I will keep you posted once I have learned to wave in the correct manner!
