Have You Heard About Google Wave?

Google Wave is a new interface that will apparently allow live interaction and collaboration among users (friends, family, co workers, etc...)

And this interaction will be fluid on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices - basically anything with a monitor!

Here is Google's definition of what seems to be quite an amazing new release:

What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

My only question about Google Wave is this: will it have a functional interface for Twitter and Facebook? My guess is "yes". However, if it doesn't, I see it has "dead on arrival" - a lot like Microsoft products of late.

Here's some videos for you to check out about Google Wave:
