Google helps you wave 'Hello'

Google has done it again with Google Wave. Google Wave is an open-source real-time communication tool that can be used to collaborate on documents, images, polls, even maps. They have applied their usual mantra of 'easy to use application'

I love some of the ideas that they have included like 'Playback.' For example, if four people were to colloborate on a document in real time. They could make make comments on sections of the document which the other three would see real-time. Then another person could later view the wave and play it back to see how the colloboration progressed into the final document.

Their spell check on it is very advanced. Not only does it spell check an incorrect spelled word but would also look at the context of the word and suggest other spellings. So, no more excuses for typing "Is you're document complete?"

I can't wait to play around with this API.

This one is 1:20 long, but well worth watching:
