Seven Things You Should Know about Google Wave - EDUCAUSE (with thanks to Seb Schmoller)
Google is developing an application that has elements of existing communication tools but is built around a different model of how communication—and collaboration—take place. With Wave, users create online spaces called "waves," which may include multiple discrete messages and components—"blips"—that constitute a running, conversational document. Users access waves through the web, resulting in a model of communication in which separate copies of multiple messages are not sent to different people; instead, the content resides in a single space. People go to a wave to access the content, respond to it, change it, replay it, send it to a blog, or add new material or attachments.
