This article by Frederic Lardinois is about google's new addition to its bundle of features. This new system is called google wave and tomorrow about 100,000 users are going to be given a sneak preview. The article goes over what the feattures are, what features are missing, and some things that still need to be worked out. This new system is like a real time chat room with a mixture of emailing and IM.
This is revelant to this class as we are constantly talking about different ways of communicating. Who knows google wave might be used for this class next semester or be used in a class similar to this one.
