Google Wave is going to change online communication

Yesterday Google previewed a new product yesterday called Google Wave. It’s very hard to describe what this is all about, but if you understand that email as it currently exists was invented about 40 years ago (long before the internet itself came into existence) and has not functionally changed at all since then, it’s easy to imagine that if email were to be invented today, it would be much different.

Google Wave is Google’s re-interpretation of what email (and in fact all online communication) would be if it was to be invented today. It’s real, and it’s going to be spectacular.
