Google Wave

Google is working to integrate e-mail, instant messaging, media sharing, social networking, document creation and entertainment into what they call Google Wave.

Google Wave is Google’s next step in online innovation. This tool could change the way the Internet is used today by combining everything into one web application and computing platform.

Google Wave combines real-time communication and collaboration. It can be used as a conversation tool and a document.

People can use Google Wave to talk and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, etc. The Wave not only can be used on computers, but it can be applied to phones as well.

This tool essentially has the power to eliminate the social networking sites used today, because it will combine all necessary tools into one web application.

Google Wave can add tweets to Twitter accounts, automatically add links to blogs or messages, translate text into 40 languages, and update blog pages.

This is a useful tool for the work environment. Employees can work on editing a document at the same time, update meeting agendas and chat under one application.

The best part is it all happens in real-time.

Technology continually makes things easier to use and Google Wave is the future tool that can merge multiple communication outlets into one and allow users from all over the world to communicate together under just one application.
