Today I received my invitation to the Google Wave Preview! Google Wave is “what E-Mail would look like if it was invented today”, according to one of the creators. If you don’t really know what Wave is about or how it works, better check out this video:

Currently, I only have a few contacts to wave with, but it’s already enough to test the features. When somebody starts a Wave with one person like a mail, you can respond to single paragraphs, sentences or words inside that wave (like threaded comments). Other’s can be invited to that Wave and answer, too. You can embed Flash, YouTube videos, images, polls and much more directly into the wave. Moreover, to save time when directly communicating, a Wave can work like a chat, allowing you directly to see what the other person types even before the message is sent.

All in all, Wave looks very promising and I hope that more people will be invited so I can test all the features!
