Google Wave

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their times with family and friends.

So I was looking through many new features and programs of Google and came across this little gem: Google Wave. I'm too lazy to explain the whole thing so I'm going to let Wikipedia do the job for me:

Google Wave is "a personal communication and collaboration tool" announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009. It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by extensions that can provide, for example, spelling/grammar checking, automated translation among 40 languages, and numerous other extensions. Initially released only to developers, a "preview release" of Google Wave was extended to nearly 1 million users beginning September 30, 2009, with the initial 100,000 users each allowed to invite from twenty to thirty additional users.

If you take note of the last part, each person invited is allowed to invite a certain number of additional users. So here's my proposal, if any of you guys are interested in receiving Google Wave (the coolest thing ever that can potentially replace email) and you have a Gmail account, let me know and send me your Gmail address. Jeff, I am expecting a prompt reply particularly from you with your Gmail because if you have Google Wave, contributing to this blog will be a breeze. Check it out:

Guys trust me, this thing is amazing (I don't mean to sound like spokesperson for Google Wave, but it's really cool). Let me know if you guys are interested.

It's interesting. But the only way to get the most out of Wave is for many people taking part at the same time.
