A new feature of Google was announced on May 29th, the Google Wave. Some people are excited for this new feature, but others however are terrified and with good reason according to Fast Company.
While Google says that one benefit is the “rich formatting”, this rich formatting means loss of punctuation, shorten sentences and signatures that contain important information such as address, phone numbers and more to name a few.
With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.”That’s what Google says. Am I the only one who writes an email, then revises it for tone and clarity? It’s creepy enough that other people know when I’m typing on Gtalk. Now they can see what I’m thinking as I try out sentences?
With this new feature comes new apps which some may find a great tool and benefit, but this just add’s to the pile of more apps and communication tools that developers all around the world are already trying to handle. How many more companies do we need with their own platforms and new apps?
What are your thoughts on Googles new Wave?
