    Google Wave

    I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet:

        watch the video when you have time - you can't really summarize something this amazing; you have to see the whole video and everything they're doing.

        This is possibly going to change our communication on the Internet on the same scale E-Mail did when it was introduced, or even forums when they were.

          Just when I had the slightest interest in Bing and thought well at least Microsoft is trying...

          Google goes ahead and knocks them out of the freaking park. I can't wait for this to launch.

            Whoa. That's pretty hardcore. You can see people typing character by character.

            I'm also skeptical when something is hailed as revolutionizing the field, but this looks like it's for real.

              Google usually lives up to the hype as well.

              That Rosy extension (the translator) is unreal, having words translated to you as they are being typed is so sick.

              This has so much potential for people who are typing out lectures and meetings to other people. I love the concept of being not only connected but 'live'.

                  Doesn't look like something I'll need to use, but that's sick.

                    Really?? I think it's pretty easy to summarize.

                    Email meets the features of instant messaging, forums, and facebook.

                    Not all that mind blowing, but I can see how it could be useful. I can't help but shake the feeling that it's just another way for people to easily bother you and expect an instant response though.

                      Great point.

                      This seems cool, but at the same time, I'm really starting to feel like this need for instant communication is going too far.
