Google announced the next big thing this morning – Wave – a new service that blends e-mail, instant messaging, online forums, and wikis into one all encompassing grand messaging service, due for realease late 2009..
In Google Wave you create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on your wave can use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets, and even feeds from other sources on the web. They can insert a reply or edit the wave directly. It’s real time rich-text editing, where you see on your screen nearly instantly what your fellow collaborators are typing in your wave.
