A video overview of Google Wave

Google Wave is what e-mail would be were it invented today. Or at least, that's Google's spin on Wave.

Google Wave

is a new way to communicate with friends, family and co-workers in a truly real-time way. The service is in its early days but shows promise. The only way to get a Google Wave account is to receive an invitation from someone who's already been accepted into the Google Wave trial.

-Google Wave is a service from Google that allows you to connect and

collaborate with your friends, family, and co-workers

in a real-time environment -- meaning you can interact like you would through email but everything is happening as you do it, live.

- Multiple people can communicate through a wave and you can share things like maps, images, videos, and more.

- When you start a Wave with someone, if they're logged in, they'll see everything you type, files you share, and etc live, as you do it and they can respond to you instantly.

- You need to have an invite in order to use Google Wave and then you can simply sign in with your Google account or create a new Google account.
