Google Wave is poised to revolutionize email. I am not only impressed by what I saw on the rather long video from the Google I/O conference, but I know it is important because my daughter, Gabrielle, told me so.
"I like not having to use so many different programs and websites, instead I'll have just have one venue for all of them," she summarized it very well.
When you start with Google Wave, it can act like an email client. If you are the only one of your contacts on-line, it can easily leave a message. So far, so good. But, if one of your contacts is on-line, it can turn your email into a conversation -- in real time. This is how the wave begins. People can be regularly added to the conversation. You can embed comments within another person's message. You can drag and drop multi-media content and more. It is worth seeing the demos:
- Detailed developer preview
- The above preview reduced to 10 minutes
- Real-time translation in Wave using Rosy the robot
