Sitting around the campfire drinking a cup of coffee from the blackened pot the other night Jim and I were discussing the most recent means of on-line communication. Frankly, some of it puzzles me. The topic soon shifted to wave.google.com
I think I get a lot of things. For example I was an early beta tester on Newsvine and I was a fairly early user of Gmail. I have a Facebook account and a Twitter account. I get that Facebook is a great “networking” tool, but I honestly see little value in either Facebook or Twitter as means of meaningful communication.
Now, Google Documents I get. I have evangelized those for several years now. We work with Google Docs both internally and on client projects. What a great way to get an agenda assembled or create and follow a punch list!
Will Google Wave be an improvement in communication? Will it sink GoogleDocs to Twitter-like disjointed conversations? Do you see the value in Google Wave or is this just another shiny object that early adopters crave and then drop? We invite you to grab a cup of coffee and tell us what you think.
