Real-time Collaborations

The wave is about to overwhelm the people of the world as Google Wave is opened to the public. This move marks the day that collaboration (professionally and socially) is changed forever.

When Google first debuted the wave communications platform, it was said that it would make all communications between parties more efficient. That goes without saying that two colleagues, on opposite sides of the planet, who can work on a looming project in real time will become increasingly valuable over the next few years.

Today is the day that social becomes closer than it was to being fully integrated both inside and outside of companies, no matter how big. I've used wave to play sudoku and chess with friends. And also to work on a project with a team back home, while I was on vacation in Puerto Rico. This platform is phenomenal and from what I've read about the updates...this Google labs product has gotten even better over the past 9+ months.
