Google Wave and the Future of Collaboration
Computer-mediated collaboration has evolved considerably, yet the main tool we still use is e-mail, which started spreading more than 30 years ago when our needs were much simpler. Google's recent preview of its Google Wave has set the IT world abuzz, because we suddenly glimpsed a more logical (some said brilliant) way to escape the limitations of e-mail. Is Google Wave a fundamental advance, or just another toy? What does it tell us about the future of collaboration? Is it just a fad, or will it send e-mail into the dustbin of IT history? In this Executive Update, we will examine Google Wave and how collaboration may ultimately evolve.
