Google Wave

A few weeks ago I got an invitation for Google Wave. Some info I found about Google Wave:

“Wave is real-time e-mail. What that means is that when you’re writing a reply to a message (or ‘wave’) that you receive in the system, the recipient can see what you are typing as type it. ”

Didn’t I see this ‘innovative’ feature before? Yep…. it was 1996 when I was using the chat program PowWow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowWow_(chat_program) :-) .

So, I’m looking forward to using Google Wave for the collaboration process of writing an article. Let’s see whether or not it provides any additional value compared to plain old email.

By the way, PowWow also had support for VOIP, sharing a white board, and surfing the web together.
