Google Wave : Merging email, live chat, communication sharing & everyting we can think of..
Google, the us based search engine giant has recently previewed a new technology named as “Wave” combining everything we do online like chatting, e-mailing, event planning, document sharing and anything else we can think of… though currently not available to public but the API’s available to developers to work with.
According to the post on official Google blog Wave have been designed to bring all the real life form of communication (e-mail, live chat, document sharing) on one platform where all the invited parties can participate to insert their views and elements they owned or want to share like photos, rich text, feeds, anything or discuss any issues. This new service as it allows both collaboration and communication can be used for services like quick massaging and in any case if you missed any part or what to know what happened to other collaborators on your network you can rewind all enabling you to have everything in your control.
With this service Google is looking to change the way we use Internet. On its preview on Thursday it was looking an attractive work and quite ambitious and sure it will replace some of our uses for a e-mail. As of now Google has not set any deadline of its public release but a set of APIs is available to developers and they are quite exited to find them… and if any one is looking for more info about those API’s can reach at Google Wave Developer Blog, where it has been discussed how it can be used.Wave also makes use of the Google Wave Federation Protocol, allowing developers to create self-hosted instances of Wave that can communicate with each other over an open protocol without depending on Google’s servers. So for now it has only previews but interested developers can request access to a Wave Sandbox if they want to work on any projects in the meantime, but for all of us we can only sit and relax and wait to hear any new details published.
