Google WaveSo, I’ve been invited by a fellow AMP member to join the Google Wave preview.

So, what is Google Wave?  Well, apart from an enormous drain on every’s time with yet another social network, most of the time people have told me to watch the hour-and-twenty minute-long video.

But the best description I’ve seen so far is…

Google Wave is, for the most part, a collaboration tool for projects. Consider it a board room of sorts.  A place to work on new files, ideas, brainstorming. It isn’t as much a social media tool as it is a virtual conference room.

Different projects can have different “waves” that allow various members of an organization or collective the opportunity to work as “committees”. And, you can branch conversations to others or work with specific aspects of a project in “private.”

Interesting times ahead…
