Google Wave... are you surfing it? Google has been opening up invitations to use its new communication tool. For those not familiar, it's kind of a cross between E-mail, Instant Messaging, Forums, well you get the idea. More information can be found here . I have been "Waving" for a bit now and here are some observations: Collaboration - Using Wave as a collaboration tool works well. However, keeping things from getting things disorganized can be a challenge. But thankfully there is the playback feature. Working with others in real-time is useful but the real power comes with playback. Getting caught up is a snap. Using the spacebar also moves one quickly through the unread 'wavelets.' Just discussing a topic - It is amazing how much fun that can be. The wave will go feverishly for a bit then lag and just when you think it has run its course, away it goes again! Try wave out if you can get an invite. It's just a curiosity now, but who knows, maybe it...
