 INTRODUCTION
• What is the Google Wave ?
Google Wave is described as "a new web
application for real-time communication and
collaboration". It is a web-based service, computing
platform, and designed to merge e-mail, instant
messaging, wikis, and social networking.
The product is part email, part Twitter and part
instant messaging. Users can drag files from the
desktop to a discussion. Wave even showed
character-by-character live typing.
 ELEMENTS OF GOOGLE WAVE
•Wave
A wave, specifically, refers to a specific threaded conversation. It can include just
one person, or it can include a group of users or even robots.
• Wavelet
A wavelet is also a threaded conversation, but only a subset of a larger
conversation or small part of a larger conversation and a larger history
•Participants
Each wave has a set of one or more participants. Participants are either humans
or robots that actively engage and interact in a wave. Participants are added to a wave
by existing participants
 ELEMENTS OF GOOGLE WAVE
• Blip
  Even smaller than a Wavelet, a Blip is a single, individual
message. Blips can have other blips attached to them, called
children. In addition, blips can either be published or
unpublished.

• Embedded Wave 
An embedded wave is a way to take a Google Wave
and the conversation within it and place it on your website.
Users could use this as a chat room, as a way to contact you,
or for something more.
 ELEMENTS OF GOOGLE WAVE
•Document
A document actually refers to the content within a blip. This seems to refer to the
actual characters, words, and files associated with a blip.

•Extension
An extension is a mini-application that works within a wave. So these are the
apps you can play with while using Wave. There are two main types of extensions.

Gadgets
Robots
 ELEMENTS OF GOOGLE WAVE

•Gadgets
A gadget is an application users can participate with, many of which are built
on Google’s OpenSocial platform. A good comparison would be iGoogle gadgets or
Facebook applications.

•Robots
 Robots are an automated participant within a wave. They can talk with users
and interact with waves. They can provide information from outside sources (i.e.
Twitter) or they can check content within a wave and perform actions based on them .
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
 INNOVATIVE FEATURES OF WAVE

• Real-time
• Embeddability
• Playback

• Drag-and-drop file sharing

• Wiki functionality
• Applications and Extensions
 MAKING YOUR FIRST WAVE
•If one of your Contacts is Already in Wave
Wave uses your Google account's Contacts list, so if any of
your existing Google contacts is also using Wave, those people
automatically show up in your Wave Contacts.

• If None of Your Contacts are in Wave, Go Public !

even if you don't have anyone in your Contacts panel to wave
real-time, you can still find and participate in public waves live any
time of day or night.
 WAVE ACCESS PERMISSION

•Full Access

•Read-only Access

•Reply-only Access (Forthcoming)

 ADVENTAGES OF GOOGLE WAVE

• Retrace with playback

• Cuts down conversation waiting time

• Embedding a Wave to your site

• Multiple users instant messaging gets easy

EMBEDDING A WAVE
GADGETS
CONCURRENT EDITING
 DISADVANTAGES OF GOOGLE WAVE

•No option to hide replies

•Limited user’s invitation

• No notification system
 CONCLUSION
• Google will provide value added functionality and
features to many of its popular applications and
platforms
• This type of integration and visibility means that
Google will be able to leverage existing resources and
users to potentially accelerate the adoption of
Google Wave.
• Google Wave itself represents a new approach aimed
at improving communication and collaboration
through the use of a combination of established and
emerging web technologies
