A basic introduction of the new Google Wave and some of the ways in which it will impact our lives.

1. Google Wave The next step in communication and collaboration

2. What It Is.. Google Wave is a new, online communications tool that enables groups of people to edit and discuss documents simultaneously on the web. A more efficient means of communication: Not simply one person sending a message to another, but multiple people creating a message together!

3. Email The standard form of online communication today (email or messaging) is creating a message and sending it to one or more other people.

4. Wave Google Wave works like previous messaging systems, but instead of sending a message back and forth with its entire threat - or storing old messages in inboxes – messages documents (waves) are stored on a central server, which allows collaborators to edit the document together simultaneously. Collaborators can be added or removed at any time. One can view the original document as well as see how it has been changed, edit-by-edit, up to the point of its current situation.
