Now that I have wave I’m still trying to figure out what exactly to do with it, lol. Seems like a great tool to work together with co-workers on the same project, sharing information and having threaded discussions – but they are called waves.

Wave has plug-in/gadget support and for now there are two plug-ins/gadget:

1. Yes/No/Maybe voting – can be very useful if you need a project/team wide decision.
2. Google maps – you can add your own points and locations to the map and share it with the participants.

A few more points that are worth mentioning:

1. Google wave is a web app – no download and all your data is saved in the cloud
2. Its simple and minimalistic
3. Participants can create and save searches – can be pretty useful if you use tags for projects, resources,…
4. In the help section it says that mobile surfing is not yet functional and when I tried to access wave from my android phone, I got a message that the browser is not yet supported :(. Once this can be accessed and be used from the mobile phone – project management can go with you to everywhere!
5. I’d love to see some more plug-ins, allowing you to connect to the calendar, to facebook, twitter…

 

So far I like it and I believe that Google wave might become a big success!

Touch screen with multi touch capabilities and a very intuitive user interface.

 

Is this what Microsoft has to release or is this just a fake made up by someone?

Digital bits and bites everywhere, be it on the kitchen counter, giving instructions on how to bake that cake you want, letting you scan and upload a business card into your cell phone on the dinner table, or a dynamic, active wallpaper in the kids room – amazing.

 

and finally a video showing off some of he cool and amazing features.

 

All I can say is WOW… I can’t wait to see this become reality…
