Main purpose

Google Wave is application for real-time communication and collaboration. The idea was to develop a system that would integrate advantages of e-mail and forums in real-time. The backbone of the system is a wave which behaves like a thread and it can be in a form of discussion, document, message etc. User initiates a wave and joins other users that can track changes and make contribution.

Useful information

Google Wave provides suport for both on-line and offline communication. In first step user creates a wave which can be just text message or enriched type of communication such as video file. In the next step, the owner adds other users and manage their rights (such as read only or full access). Communication can begin! Users can drag&drop forms, Google maps and other text and multimedia documents in the wave.

See video tutorial on using Google Wave
