Google I/O developer conference kicked off 2 days back and there has been tons of discussions about upcoming technologies and innovations from developers across the globe. With too many things going on, the biggest announcement seems to be the “Google Wave”. The master minds behind Google Wave are, Lars and Yen Rasmussen, the same guys behind Google Maps. After almost 2 years of research, they have come up with a new technology which can possibly change the way we all communicate in the web. The major breakthrough here is, users can send and receive richly formatted text in real time. This means that, we no longer have to wait with messages like, “typing a message” or “entered text” anymore. Google calls this as concurrent rich-text editing. Every key pressed by one user is reflected immediately on the screen of the other user in real time.
Now, by applying this technology to email, productivity tools, social networks, blogging and many other similar services, Google Wave may revolutionize the way we communicate and collaborate in the web today. Many of the possibilities demonstrated were simply mind blowing. The most interesting part of the demo was the software's ability to translate each and every word in the preferred language, again in real time. However, since the technology relies heavily on HTML 5, it’s still far from release. As expected, Google Wave is open source, which means that more and more features will be added by a wide variety of developer communities, as the product evolves. Hit on the read link for the news on the official Google blog and the ultra cool demonstration video.
