Ready to catch the wave?

So google are going for monopoly status not only in search, but the whole of the internet. These guys just don't see limits. 'The Wave' promises to revolutionalize the way we communicate online. Yeah, yeah didn't Facebook already do that? Oh yeah this is how google do this:

Basically it will merge your email, tweets, IM, blogs, video and Facebook - and will kill Geekchart in the process! Damn!

Say you love this post; you share this post with friends, and your friends add content to it. They may write some more, add some pics, comment through tweets and so on. According to Google Blog, "A 'wave' is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps and more."

Thing is, google aren't shy when it comes to bringing out new stuff...who uses Knol? And remember when we all found where we lived on google Earth? You know what? I remember them shouting about Knol and I can't even remember what it does - anyone else?

So I don't know if 'Wave' is the real deal. They dropped the news the week Microsoft announced their new search project 'Bing' - and we know how successful Microsoft has been in search!

Smokescreen or my new favourite analytical tool? - let's wait and see....
