The future of email?

[Shoyru_Lover]

It's pretty exciting. The Google team did a mock up of what they think email would look like if it were invented today; Google Wave, a communication and collaboration tool that is completely open source.

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

There's even a video of the presentation with a demo of the product:

Not more shiny!!! Google is going to kill this computer with awesomeness.

I love how you add "Boggy" and it updates your blog!
Beats Gmail like a drum. Not that i don't love Gmail, but this looks better.

I really like that. I watched some of the demo video. Seriously, that looks so cool. And I like the fact that it's open source, too. I can't wait until it comes out so I can give it a try.

I only watched part of the Demo, but it sure was pretty. xD

Everything is pretty in the future. It's also chrome (pun not intended, if you get it ).
