Still in development Google Wave is a browser-based tool that mixes e-mail with Instant Messaging and real-time online collaboration elements. Harry McCracken of Technologizer.com wrote “It s one of the most ambitious services that Google or anyone else has cooked up”. Google Wave is currently only open to developers interested in building applications for the tool. Google Wave co-creator Lars Rasmussen wrote on the official Google blog: “A wave is equal parts conversation and document where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text photos videos maps and more. “In Google Wave you create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on your wave can use richly formatted text photos gadgets and even feeds from other sources on the web. They can insert a reply or edit the wave directly.

Wave is like email mixed with collaborative editing and instant messaging. It’s conceivable that the Google Wave paradigm will replace today’s group collaboration tools with something less fractured (everything’s in one place), universal (document equals IM equals email) and more centralized (one application instead of many). Heck, it could even replace email itself.
