Google Wave allows one to communicate using with photos, rich text, videos, maps and do it in real time which isn’t your dad’s email application.
When I was growing up, I had to dial up to a bulletin board system (which was all text based by the way) and hope that I received an email to the one I sent a week ago. As the internet took up in the 90’s, email skyrocketed where you could receive a response to your message the same day. With Google Wave, you could receive your response as you’re writing it if you’re lucky enough to have the person online.
Simply add participants to the Wave and you’re off. Drag in some photos of the family and then ask who’s attending the family reunion and it will format it for you to be easily read. This truly is the death of conventional email as we know and even tougher news for your post office.
Sorry Postal Service people but even you have to admit this is pretty awesome and just plain useful when it comes to communication. You’re able to chat, collaborate and email all from one package which will help productivity. You’re able to create your own applications and widgets for use with the nifty API and share your creations with others.
Don’t take my word for it, just watch the insanely nice video.
