Google的新服務：Google Wave:

Google在前一陣子推出了Google Wave的試用，從他非官方的blog看來，Google Wave把協同工作更往前推進了一步：

"In Google Wave you create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on your wave can use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets, and even feeds from other sources on the web. They can insert a reply or edit the wave directly. It's concurrent rich-text editing, where you see on your screen nearly instantly what your fellow collaborators are typing in your wave. That means Google Wave is just as well suited for quick messages as for persistent content -- it allows for both collaboration and communication. You can also use "playback" to rewind the wave to see how it evolved."

簡而言之，你創造一個wave，然後把親朋好友拉進來。之後，你跟你的親朋好友就可以在上面共同撰寫文件、規劃事情。共同撰寫文件可以即時的看到彼此打的字，所以可以即時地刪除與修改（這樣不知道會不會增加吵架的機率？）；規劃事情也可以同時地操作google map，也可以同時讓大家挑選可以的時間。協同工作與社交網路似乎又往前邁進了一大步。以下是一些操作畫面：
