I’ve got something to show you today that I think will completely revolutionize they way we communicate online, and I mean that seriously.

If you have not seen this yet, be prepared to be blown away.

Harry McCracken at technologizer.com says the following:

A new service which – well, it’s one of the most ambitious services that Google or anyone else has cooked up? How ambitious? Project leader Lars Rasmussen says that it began with the question “What might e-mail look like if it were invented today?” … It:

* Is a service that looks like a rich piece of client software;
* Behaves like sophisticated threaded e-mail;
* Acts like IM when multiple collaborators are online at once.
* Is one of the most real-time collaborative tools I’ve ever seen.
* Has revision marking and versioning for workgroup editing.
* Has instant photo sharing.
* Allows its functionality to be embedded into blogs and social networks;
* Can serve as a container for OpenSocial applications;
* Has what Google says is a revolutionary spell checker;
* Comes in mobile flavors for Android and iPhone;
* Is an open-source project that lets developers write both Wave extensions … and their own servers.more

This is something you need to take a serious look at right now, before it slips your mind because this is going to create some huge new waves, pardon the pun.

Here is a 2 hour developer preview Google I/O where they take you through Wave:

Notice I said “developer”?

Yes, it is Open Source

Let me know your thoughts on this thing, the possibilities seem endless.
