So…you thought you were starting to get a grip on all the Web 2.0 stuff? Well here we go again!
Web 3.0 – Google Wave is coming. But not to worry, it promises to be a better way of integrating all that you do now – so feel free to exhale. Google says that Wave will integrate e-mail, social networking, instant messaging, and document collaboration crossing the lines of various media as well as offering real-time functionality.
According to Google’s Wave preview, a Wave is:
- equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
- is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
- is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.
