Waves

I’ve been trying out GoogleWave the past couple weeks.

It seems like it’ll be a really useful collaboration tool, but I don’t know how far it will go with regards to ‘replacing’ conventional e-mail and web messenger systems.

Really, GoogleWave isn’t anything ‘new’ (in its current release)–it’s the same sort of tech we’ve seen with forums/blogs (conversation threads), Twitter (direct replies, ‘@’ replies), and Facebook.   There are some pretty neat widgets you can use in conversation, but again, it’s nothing particularly new.

It’s promising, however, as the tech develops.

On a side note (as I’ve sold it so well), I’ve got 8 GoogleWave invites to give out.  Any takers?
