Google Wave and getting used to it.


I just recently got my Google Wave invite. I was really excited about it. Especially because I signed up to do a presentation on Google Wave and still didn't have an account the week before it was due.

Google Wave is a new collaboration, web-based protocol for better and "awesomer" communication. This was designed to eliminate the multiple copies of emails, frustration with instant messanger, and multiple documents for the same topic.

One of the things that I had to get used to was how to comment, edit, and reply to waves. After watching a few YouTube videos and messing around a bit on my own, I could really find the usefulness of Google Wave.

I'm really looking forward to using this more. For example, my wife and I and a few friends are really into emergency preparedness. It's a lot of fun to have interesting articles, comment in-line to others comments, and other things. I'm looking forward to getting the "Web-bots" to work.
Stay tuned.
