Google Wave demystified


Google has comeup with a new app called Google wave.Many people have asked me what is wave 
A wave is collection of pictures,videos,text,maps to bridge the gap between people inorder to improve the intercommunication and intracommunication.It is too early to tell anything about this app since this is in devoloping stage .In simple terms it is an interactive application which combined the features of  email,instant messaging ,wikis,social networking.Gmail + Gtalk + Picassa + Gdocs = Gwave.




It supports automatic translation among 40 languages.You cannot directly register in da google wave  .You have to get an invitation from anyone who is already a member of wave.Anyone can come and go in between a wave and they can edit the content at any point of time.
Wave lives in real time. As soon as you type, other participants can see it, interact and edit in real time.Unique features of google wave.
 Real-time: In most instances, you can see what someone else is typing, character-by-character.
  Embeddability: Waves can be embedded on any blog or website.


 Applications and Extensions: Just like a Facebook application or an iGoogle gadget, developers can build their own apps within waves. They can be anything from bots to complex real-time games.
 Wiki functionality: Anything written within a Google Wave can be edited by anyone else, because all conversations within the platform are shared. Thus, you can correct information, append information, or add your own commentary within a developing conversation.
 Open source: The Google Wave code will be open source, to foster innovation and adoption amongst developers.
Playback: You can playback any part of the wave to see what was said which means if a participant joins the wave and he has no idea what others are discussing on.Using the playback feature he can start the thread from start to see da conversation from the beginning.
 Natural language: Google Wave can autocorrect your spelling, even going as far as knowing the difference between similar words, like “been” and “bean.” It can also auto-translate on-the-fly.
 Drag-and-drop file sharing: No attachments yes its true . just drag your file and drop it inside Google Wave and everyone will have access.
