Google Wave, a product that
promises to revolutionize
online communication, will go
out to about 100,000 beta
testers Wednesday.
The Web application from
Google Inc. combines elements
of e-mail, chat, Wiki
documents, blogs and photo-
sharing sites to create a
form of Internet
communication called a
"hosted conversation," or a
"wave."
Google demonstrated Wave at
the Google I/O developer
conference in San Francisco,
California, in May. The closed
group of beta testers will
help Google fish bugs out of
the application before a public
release by the end of the
year, according to the Google
Wave Web site.
The app was created by Jens
and Lars Rasmussen, the
Australian brothers who
developed Google Maps. The
Rasmussen brothers said they
hope Google Wave will
eventually replace e-mail as
the main way people converse
on the Internet.
"This should be something
everybody uses and
something everybody knows,"
Jens Rasmussen said.
In Wave, e-mail-like
communications can be edited
by several users
simultaneously. And users can
chat about certain sections of
Wave documents in real time,
where all users see what a
person is typing as it is
typed. If a person comes to
the conversation late, they
can replay everything they've
missed.
The Rasmussens hope these
functions will make online
communication more efficient
and collaborative.
Jens Rasmussen said e-mail is
a computer version of snail
mail. Wave will be something
new, a real-time
communication system
designed specifically for
today's faster-paced,
multitasking Internet, he said.
"We really have a much too
strong tendency to just take
things we know and just
adapt them to the digital
world," he said.
Tech bloggers have largely
cheered the release of the
product. But there are some
concerns that the app may
be too complicated for
mainstream Web users.
In a video demonstration, the
Rasmussens spend an hour
and 20 minutes explaining
Wave
