What is Google Wave?

Hi,
we talk about Google Wave invites, let me explain the concept behind Google wave. What started as just the 'Google Search Engine', started by Larry Page and Sergey Brin is today an Internet behemoth with a mission to 'organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful' and I daresay they are well on their way to achieve that goal. As part of this mission, Google decided to launch 'Google Wave'. It is a web based platform for real time interaction and online collaboration. Google wave is a platform that offers social networking, email, instant messaging, real time collaboration facility with spell check, translation (in 40 languages) and other Google Wave extensions. It is all of these things bundled into one package.

Fundamental to this application is the concept of a 'wave'. A wave is a conversation, as well as a document at the same time that is edited and modified with every new action. It is actually an XML document. Multiple users can be added to a wave and every one of them can edit and modify its contents, giving it the characteristics of a 'wiki' in the process. This web application was created by Google developers and written in Java on the OpenJDK platform. Its interface is based on 'Google Web Toolkit'. Now that you know what this web application is all about, let us talk about Google Wave invites in the next section.
