Google Wave is an incredible technology that is hard to fully understand. It is messaging, email and real-time web collaboration all rolled into one, and the implications are far-reaching. I have been trying to imagine the full ramifications of using Google Wave on a team basis, but I can’t get in the closed beta, so I am stuck with imagining it. That’s why I was excited to see the research note appear that explains Google Wave completely.
Understanding Google Wave: An Experiment in Real-Time Web Use on GigaOM Pro, our subscription-based research service, explains in depth what Wave is and more importantly, how it might impact our communications in the future. It is enough to get me very excited about Google Wave and the benefits it can provide.
Social media and the real-time web are being used to create and consume information, and this is the focus of the new vertical on GigaOM Pro, NewWeb.
