This web application named Web2Wave (www.Web2Wave.com)is freely accessible. The functionalities of Web2Wave are really simple, useful, ergonomic, intuitive and so powerful.

But I think that the best way for you is to try it by yourself too. Just type http://www.web2wave.com, try the demo if you want but you will have better to directly create your own account.

Web2Wave does not need to download anything, it’s what I call a light client with AJAX interfaces and web2.0 (javascript, css and XHTML) technologies for the MMI :

1. On the welcome page, you have a descriptive video that show you the main functionalities and some few explications in french and in english. The list of bookmarks is very welcomed if you use social bookmarking as me. You have at the top of the page a very nice “apple dock” menu for login and few other options.
2. For creating an account, I just had to fill my names and my emails for in the field.
3. The first tab is an help tab which provide a nice tutorial with a short video in order to adopt the W2W functionalities and wording wave :
1. A “webview” is a tab which can be renamed in order to be coherent with the content that will be created inside later.
2. A “surflet” is a small browser window created when you click on the lefter icon of the apple dock menu. A surflet can be renamed, saved, resized and filled with an url.
4. The second tab is the “3D Flow”!!! An amazing three-dimensional cover flow graphical user interface, a very powerful tool, but I will talk about it after for a better understanding.
5. Then you have many tabs as you want, you create it with the small add icon and renamed it in accordance with the future content. For testing I have created a “web2.0″ tab where I have add 5 surflets with my favorite web2.0 blogs inside and another one with some personal website that I consult every day.
6. I arrange the surflet as I want, by renaming, resizing and repositioning them in order to have a kind of dashboard of my bookmarks.
7. When I want to view the content of a surflet, I justhave to click on the expand button and the surflet is sized in full page as like as I’ve opened it in a single web browser page.
8. When I will have created my own web browsing environment, I think that I will have more than thirty different surflet. In this way, despite the renaming functionalities of the webview and surflet, I can imagine that I will have some difficulties to find a surflet between all the different tab. That’s here that the famous second tab, the 3D flow is so powerful!
9. When you click on the second tab, all the content of your surflets are screen shotted on the fly and placed in a Apple like cover flow. It’s very ergonomic and design and very useful to find the surflet you where searching by scrolling and double clicking on it.

In my mind, Web2Wave is the future of the of the web application for many reasons :

* Firstly, because it offers to the user a very simple and free service that fulfill it’s web browsing needs.
* Secondly, because it uses all the new technologies that offer the same functionalities of the Vista X windows, the ergonomic and the design of the Mac OS and because it is a light client that does not need any installation.
* And finally because it is innovative, and has really understood the interest of all the web2.0 technologies for inventing the future of the web… web3.0????

The Web2Wave web site (www.web2wave.com) is still actually under development and may content some bug, but we can referred them to the web master for future improvement.

I cannot predict the future of this service, but I can see it in the Google labs as well.

Congratulation to the one’s who have had the ideas.

Good surf in your webview and surflet.

But where is RedZee pulling their data from? No matter how pretty it looks, the current quality of the search results render it worthless!
