Google Wave

I’m guessing a lot of non-techie people have no idea what Google Wave is.  Honestly, I didn’t either.  I mean, I’d heard of it.  And I knew it was Google’s latest project.  And I knew I was a fan.  I’ve been a huge fan since 1999ish.  But this Wave thing, was waving right over my head.

This week, 100,000 invites went out.  I think I might have requested it but apparently it didn’t help because I haven’t gotten an invite yet.

While waiting, I’ve been trying to figure out what in the heck it does exactly.  I knew it would help with communication and possibly replace Gmail and Twitter.  That’s about as far as I got.  I’m still not sure of the details but this little video was fun to watch and gave a good high-level idea of what it’s trying to accomplish.

And if you have an invite you’d like to extend, my Gmail account is always open.

If you want a little more detail, check this video out:

1 to “Google Wave”

    My first instinct is to say “Oooh, that looks neat. I want to get an invite.” but then the more I think about it and read about it, the more I think it might be just too many bells and whistles. Almost too distracting. I could be wrong, but that is my impression.
