Google Wave

Google Wave is the internet-based communication of the future, no doubt about it. It's like email 2.0. Here's a video from the developers themselves introducing Google Wave. it's a great watch.

I love the ability to have images, videos, and music put right in line with my message. Also being able to have conversations with many people at the same time about the same topic such as planning a trip, then having a private message with just one person about the same topic who's already a part of the conversation; maybe asking Sally if she's okay with us inviting her ex-boyfriend... she might not want to answer that to the whole group involved in the conversation, but to just me she's more than willing to answer so we know what's the best course of action. This can all be done within the same thread. Public and private messages including pictures, video, music, slideshows, links, you name it.
