Google has a new open communications and collaboration platform up its sleeve that the public won't see for a few months called Google Wave.
It combines features of e-mail, instant messaging and document sharing.
Conversations, so to speak, wouldn't be conversations any more; they'll be near-real-time "waves" that users invite their ever-widening circle of contacts to join and share all kinds of content.
The widgetry, which Google hopes other people will build other services on and federate waves, is based on hosted XML documents and supports concurrent modifications.
Google will open up a Google Wave Federation Protocol, apparently an extension of the XMPP protocol.
