    This is from Google.

    What are you talking about? Google.com? Google Chrome? Gmail? Or all of it?

    Also, it should be noted that the mock-ups were just examples of how it might look/work. The ultimate plan is not for this to be a Google product...but rather a standard web service, like e-mail or IM, neither of which is owned or produced by any company. Clients and servers are created by anyone to allow users to take part in the paradigm. That's the idea here, too...so how it works or looks would be based on who's client you used.

    Google Wave

    Google just released their new Cloud-based software called Google Wave. It is completely free but there is a catch... They are only sending out 100,000 invites for the first stage of testing.

    So my question is, anyone have an invite they want to send to me?! :D

    My friend got it. He was on the list. I am going to ask him to send it to me. Then of course I will share the wealth!

    Looks like a great business application for companies that have distributed offices, I hope we get an invite soon, it would be very useful.

    Re: Google Wave

    yeah. problem is that it needs to get integrated through everyone...perhaps its a better version of "Gotomeeting" from what it seems like with a more integrated IM client?
