Waving.....

I have been anticipating the Google Wave invitation from September 30^th (ever since the day it’s launched). Finally I got the invitation from a twitter friend couple of days ago. I tried to encapsulate few features of Wave in this article.

Google Wave is a web application that lets you easily communicate and collaborate with others. By Google Wave we can use the web to have conversations, share photos and files, work with others on documents, chat in real time, organize our information, post to blogs and more. It features tagging waves, dockable labels, personalized folders, Map gadgets, Yes/No/Maybe gadgets, Doctor Wave and many more.

Extension Gallery:  A Google Wave extension (gadget) lets you add rich content and integrate with other systems. There is a provision to install few extensions namely Wave Sudoku, Conference, Video Chat Experience, Trippy, AccuWeather.com, and etc.

Trippy: is an itinerary, where we can create and scheduled our trips, dates and share them friends. A sample trip to New Delhi in February is given below.

Sudoku Gadget:

There are many features, which I need to reconnoiter in Wave. I am willing to post more articles about the features of Wave in future. Meanwhile I would like to finish this article by a coinage often used by my friend. i.e., “Google is the best thing that has happened to us in this 21^st century”. :) 

P.S.: I will invite my friends to Wave, as soon as I get the credentials.
