Just Google Wave Me
I’m lov’n Google Wave lately and being a relatively early adopter, I can honestly say the Wave platform is much more stable now and the additional new features have really enhanced the Wave experience.
I’ve been spreading the potential benefits of Wave since I first saw the preview in July 2009. Why? Well when was the last time you saw a real revolution in communication?
I see potential applications for Google Wave in a corporate environment many times per day – bring on federation and the ability to run Wave behind the firewall and the growth of Wave will be exponential – anyone that has ever used a forum or wiki will immediately gravitate towards wave.
Overall, the best way to think about Google Wave is in terms of a hosted conversations rather than fragmented emails – try your next real time discussion in Wave and I don’t think you will ever look back.
There are also some new rules to learn to get the most benefit from wave and it brings a whole new meaning to real time collaboration. The best way to learn is to jump in and start using it.
To make life a whole lot easier Google Wave have recently started sending email updates related to wave updates so if someone updates a wave you are following, you will also get an email letting you know the wave has been updated.
Personally, I’d like to be able to consolidate all my communication into Wave but I think it will take some time for others to catch on.
