Way back in June I wrote a post about a new Google project that was under development named Google Wave. I was eagerly awaiting a chance to try it out but I knew it would be a long wait. Yesterday I finally received an invite to Google Wave (via my sister!). I quickly made the plunge and was in my first “wave” within minutes.
My initial impressions of Google Wave left me feeling like it was nothing more than a glorified online chat program. Although the more I played with it the more I understood what capabilities it can bring to the table. I will go out on a limb and claim that Google Wave is now the best program for online collaboration.
Aside from the fact that Wave makes it easy for many users to come together and discuss and share whatever they please, the inherent advantage of Google Wave is that it is part of the line up of Google applications. This will make it simple for anyone to start a Google Wave account since they likely already have a Google email and password (or atleast everyone should).
