Google Wave

So far the coolest thing I saw had to do with email. They said somthing like you can go from instant messageing to regular email type messages witch is kinds cool. If you are i.m. somebody and they have to go and you dont want to loose your thoughs you can switch and send them the rest of your thoughts threw email istead of i.m. That was the coolest part so far. It is kinda cool taht when you are using the I.M. part of wave they transmit live almost character by character what is being typed. can actually see what you are typing before you hit the enter key. So like Mr. rasmusen said you dont have to sit there and say to your self they are typing they are typing they are tpying you can see that they are typing. That way you can start formulating your own reply befored the other person is done typing there's. That is another cool aspect becuase i think it would speed up the conversation a little. It is also cool that they gave people who are poor spellers like me the ability to turn on and off the instant typing or whatever its called. Even though i would never use it myself. It is cool they way they did they gruop email thing. The fact that when you add an additional person to the wave they can see every thing that was typed from the beginging. seems cool becuase they said threw regular email you would only be able to see what was written up to the point that you were added into the converstion. Also if you are in a group wave chat you can send a private message to just one person. which is cool becuase sometimes you dont want everyone to see your message or maybe you just want to make a side comment to your good friend. another neet aspect is the group photo sharing. You can get a bunch of people together on your wave and share photos instantanously. That is suprisingly hard to do with todays tools. could be pretty usfull that you can add the wave to your blog. that way anyone can join the converstion if you wish to have an open converstion. also pretty cool that you can use wave from your cell phone. Pretty sweet that you can use wave like a wiki and have a group editing collaberation. When somthing is changed the author is notified immediatly and if needed can take action and everbody who is on the wave can find out who did what. Nice so people can maybe get credit if they did somthing good or important. There wasint really anything here I saw that i could say I didnt like. basically to me it just seems like a bunch of little upgrades to the things we already have. It should save a little time here and there and make things a little less complicated. So it is a pretty usefull aplication if you ask me
