Gmail in real-time: Google does the Wave | Webware - CNET
Google Wave is a new technology from Google which they announced at the Google I/O Conference on Thursday. I'm on my revision break, so I'll copy and paste (hopefully I'll have time later to leave my thoughts. You can probably guess what they are if I told you I've signed up for it):
"They" are Lars and Jens Rasmussen, the brothers who developed the technologies behind Google Maps.

They came up with Google Wave, which organizes Internet discussions in the trendy stream of consciousness fashion. It's a little bit Twitter, a little bit Friendfeed, and a little bit Facebook all in one service, allowing you to send direct messages to online contacts with real-time replies, share photos or documents, and add or delete members of the conversation as needed.
In that sense, it's not a completely public discussion, nor a completely private one. A user creates a "wave" by typing a message or uploading photos and adding contacts to the wave as they see fit. Other contacts can be added later, and those people can add other contacts to the wave unless the original wave starter forbids new entrants.
