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.”
Like Gmail when it was in beta, you may try Google Wave through inviation request. If you are really curious to have a try a long with other 100,000 beta tester, try to submit your request here.
To have a clue how it works, take a look at Lars Rasmussen’s writing, who along with his brother Jens, founded the idea and created the application.
If you really don’t have a clue about Google Wave, this is a little intro from Google official site:
About Google Wave
Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
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.
