More on Wave

Lots of excitement about Google Wave as a new approach to communication and collaboration that integrates today's multiplicity of tools.

Google's new Wave by Matt Hartley, Globe and Mail (May 29)

Matt Hartley says -

"The end result is nothing short of an ambitious rethinking of online communication, one that makes e-mail and instant messaging seem as stale as last night’s pizza crust.

It’s as if Google took elements of e-mail, instant messaging, videos, maps, photos and document production, threw them in a blender with a sprinkle of Web 2.0 thinking, added a dash of the usual Google flair and spat out something with the potential to make Twitter’s surging popularity seem like a passing fad. "
