Google WAVE rocks

At Google I/O conference today, Google WAVE uproared the crowds. It is absolutely a new way to do the online communication. It was called "hosted conversations" and it combines email and IM. Long time ago, I kept questioning why we couldn't group IM and Email together (check my blog on 11/15/2007 - Did we say e-mail was the future? What we meant was, e-mail is dead). Now WAVE defines a total new protocol and a total new user interface - it is a new communication platform. It is called INNOVATION! The whole WAVE team is only around 50 engineers in Sydney. Best of all, WAVE will be open sourced and allow the server to be hosted on company's own server. Wait and see how developers can add more innovations about it.
