What a Google Wave Can Do?

It’s again Google; continue to win the hearts of their users. Google released a latest Messenger called Google Wave. Google Wave combines email and instant messages, enabling several users to edit documents in real time. Now Google Invites users to join the Google wave on trial basis. The search giant hopes the tool, described as “how e-mail would look if it were invented today”, will transform how people communicate online. It’s to 100,000 invitees, each of whom can invite five further people to “join the Wave”. Third party developers can use the code to build new apps.

Wave developer described it as a tool for communication and collaboration. Such functions include real-time typing. This means people can see a comment being written character by character and can answer a question before a fellow ‘Waver’ has even finished asking it. 


If you are unsure whether you want all your Wave friends to see exactly what you are writing, when you are writing it, the developers are working on a draft mode which will allow the real-time aspect to be switched off. Unlike traditional instant messenger (IM) conversations continue even once everyone has logged out. This means that those invited to a Wave conversation but not currently online, can read the message strand in full at a later date.


One of the best options in Wave is about sharing photos with wiki style editing tools. All messages can be edited at any point by members of the conversation and a Playback facility permit users to see exactly who has edited what and at what time. You may be known or not that Google, a famously collaborative firm, now writes all its design documents in Wave. Wave also makes it very easy to share photos; you can simply drag from the desktop onto the Wave platform. If you are planning a trip you can talk about it and plan it in Wave and then share all the photos at the end.
