Goodbye email, hello Google Wave

May 28th 2009 18:23

Google is as we write unveiling in San Francisco what could be the Next Big Thing in "real-time, yet organised, Internet communication".

Called Google Wave, it is billed as the email of the future, combining the functions of email, instant messaging, photo sharing, and, at a future date, connections to the world of social networking.

It is the brainchild of two brothers, Lars and Jens Rasmussen, who said their work was inspired by the fact that two of the most commonly used Internet communication technologies, email and instant messaging, are based on relatively ancient offline communication techniques, namely the letter and the telephone.

Remember them?

Google Wave organises Internet discussions in the trendy stream of consciousness fashion, which means every one of your friends, or followers, or disciples, or whatever Google Wave chooses to call them, can see your communications as you write them.

Excuse me while I go practice my typing.

I'm intimidated. I'm still trying to get the hang of Air Letters.

Snail mail is expensive to utilize now and so I embrace the future.

I have heard that Microsoft are doing over Google with some sort of better email. The fight goes on but I dare say the email will win out!

Chris, did the Google Wave included the Google Maps as well? It seems that Google has setting up a very high guideline here, and it's very hard for other competitors to step over it...

Kudos, Daddy Google!

Hi Janet, Moonglow and Wilson,

I don't know any further details, but I agree that the basic functionality of email is going to be hard to replace. But I also agree that it all sounds like fun.
