Google wave is a killer application watch out


A new service which–well, it’s one of the most ambitious services that Google or anyone else has cooked up? How ambitious? Project leader Lars Rasmussen says that it began with the question “What might e-mail look like if it were invented today?” ... It:
Is a service that looks like a rich piece of client software;
Behaves like sophisticated threaded e-mail;
Acts like IM when multiple collaborators are online at once.
Is one of the most real-time collaborative tools I’ve ever seen.
Has revision marking and versioning for workgroup editing.
Has instant photo sharing.
Allows its functionality to be embedded into blogs and social networks;
Can serve as a container for OpenSocial applications;
Has what Google says is a revolutionary spell checker;
Comes in mobile flavors for Android and iPhone;
Is an open-source project that lets developers write both Wave extensions ... and their own servers.
