Google Wave

As we all have learned, everything we do in life is somehow affected by Google.  Well maybe thats a bit of a stretch but i just thought i should point out that Google Wave was released to 100,000 testers yesterday.  Why is this important?  Google Wave promises to make the web even more interactive.

Google's definition: Google Wave is a product that helps users communicate and collaborate on the web. A "wave" is equal parts conversation and document, where users can almost instantly communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. Google Wave is also a platform with a rich set of open APIs that allow developers to embed waves in other web services and to build extensions that work inside waves.

Wave is something we should all be excited about as it can enhance the way we communicate and collaborate on ideas.  Whether you're in interactive marketing, PR, or advertising Wave offers a new tool that you can use to complete tasks faster and more efficiently.  As technology keeps advancing our online lives will continue to get more interactive.  It is necessary to embrace these new technologies and figure out how to use them for your advantage.

Here is a link to some of the extensions that have been developed for Wave during the preview.  It will be cool to see how this all may affect the way we communicate and work together in the near future.
