I received my Google Wave invite from a new twitter pal (thanks again Alice @aliceinthewater http://twitter.com/Davorado/status/5576326179) and can see that it’s probably going to help bridge people to a new method of communicating.  Not that I think it will eliminate email the way we know it today.  At least not for another 5 years.  But, it strongly supports the social networking models, streams, and posting that we are growing familiar with in most social platforms.

It will be very interesting to see how the Wave is received and what new products (widgets) are created to add more value to the Google platform.  I can already see that I’ll use it for anything internal for my company to eliminate the email mess.  Maybe this process will force in some outside participants to adopt the tool in a similar way that critical mass fueled the adoption of the fax machine.

I hope!
