Google is unleashing a new class of instant messaging and email, and it’s calling on independent computer programmers to help evolve this hybrid offering. Google Wave is a free tool service, which was first modelled openly yesterday during the GoogleI/O developer conference in San Fransisco. But, for the rest of us mere mortals, Google Wave won’t be available for surfing until later this year. A preview is, however, available on wave.google.com.

Combining elements of email, instant messaging, wikis and photo-sharing, Google Wave runs in a web browser. For Google, this is an attempt to make online communication more dynamic, simplifying the way people engage on specific projects and in exchanges on topics.

Computer scientists at NIST developed this draft definition in collaboration with industry and government. It was developed as the foundation for a NIST special publication that will cover cloud architectures security and deployment strategies for the federal government. Comments on the definition can be sent to the email address “cloud” at “nist” with a dot “gov” at the end. NIST’s role in cloud computing is to promote the effective and secure use of the technology within government and industry by providing technical guidance and promoting standards.
