I email you?... no sir, it's... I wave you...

Hi again, today, for teacher’s recommendation, I browse through Guardian.co.uk looking for a news connected to my area of studies, so I’ll mix my career and my personal interest in this post and I’ll write about a new way of communication, and communication is a wide area of sociology's studies because in Chile at least it’s not a very developed field and if there are studies those are from TV, radio, or written media and nothing about social networks and web communications that will become the future in social relations, so with this post I could be a kind of pioneer (joke). Well, in this case it's only a preview because still this platform isn’t public and only we can access to it by invitations (I already have an account but shshsh.. jejejeje) I'll show you Google Wave. Strictly I’ll just make a summary of a complete review of Lisa van Gelder from Guardian.co.uk

We are seeing a tremendous leap in how we communicate, so the importance of Google Wave and perhaps everything does not end with this service, but it is a preview of the future.

Google Wave is a concept that works thinking that e-mail as we know it already has 40 years, and every time we send an e-mail we are creating a file that is shared with the recipient and we lose control over this, and that the recipient can generate copies that would become different versions of the mail. In practice this means a loss of information and resources, where we are always exposed to spam and we can’t have a complete picture of conversations generated by our e-mails.

So every time we send a wave we are creating a link between the initial recipients, to start a conversation that will last over time, where we can add other recipients and interact in real time on this. In practice you can see how other people are typing into the Wave, and providing attachment containing like some sort of shared document.

So Google Wave is a mixture of Gmail, Google Talk and Google Docs where each wave represents a multidimensional communication channel that connects people with content, creating distributed conversations and connecting to members of different networks to collaborate on the construction of this information.

Clicking at the Google Wave logo you'll can see a video with some of the features of this new way of web communication.
