Google's Wave


It seems that there are countless different social networks out there these days, each doing something better than the other. Google's Wave attempts to bring them all together and with Google's vast reach, it just may have a shot. It combines things such as a social network, GChat, email, pictures (Picasa), maps, Twitter, Google Docs, etc. all on a page that looks very cluttered at first. Some of the features include the ability to see letters typed in a chat in real time rather than waiting for them to finish the line and hit enter, work on documents simultaneously, interact on a map together, reply to specific parts of an email, and interact with other social networking sites from Wave. Oh, and spell check? Old school. Wave's version looks at the context of what you're typing, and automatically fixes your words accordingly. This is just a preview, Wave won't be in use until later this year.
