What is Google Wave? An easy explanation

If you fall into one of these categories, read on:

1. You don’t know how to explain what Google Wave is,
2. You just got a Wave invite, and don’t know where to start,
3. Someone just asked you what Google Wave is, or
4. You were just asked if you wanted an invite, but don’t know what it is

For new users, there is a learning curve. For tech-savvy users, the curve is much shorter. It combines elements of email, instant messaging, wiki, blog, photo gallery, and chat room all in one.

And, you can always provide a link to the very popular YouTube video “Google Wave Cinema: Pulp Fiction.”

But perhaps the best, most concise, most accurate explanation takes form as a single sentence, easily copied and pasted, and from Tim Walker:

Tim Walker: ‘Google Wave is how email would look, if it were invented yesterday’

So, now you know what to say the next time you’re asked “What’s a Google wave?”
