Here are some things Google says about it:
Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and
collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where
people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text,
photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can
communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos,
videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message,
edit the content and add participants at any point in the process.
Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and
when.
A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a
wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with
extensions in real-time.
There are tons of ways to use Google Wave--here are just a few
examples to get you thinking
Organizing Events: Keep a single copy of ideas, suggested itinerary,
menu and RSVPs, rather than using many different tools. Use gadgets to
add weather, maps and more to the event.
Group Projects: Collaboratively work in real time to draft content,
discuss and solicit feedback all in one place rather than sending
email attachments and creating multiple copies that get out of sync.
Photo Sharing: Drag and drop photos from your desktop into a wave.
Share with others. Use the slideshow viewer. Everyone on the wave can
add their photos, too. It is easy to make a group photo album in
Google Wave.
Meeting Notes: Prepare a meeting agenda together, share the burden of
taking notes and record decisions so you all leave on the same page.
Team members can follow the minutes in real time, or review the
history using Playback.
Brainstorming: Bring lots of people into a wave to brainstorm - live
concurrent editing makes the quantity of ideas grow quickly! It is
easy to add rich content like videos, images, URLs or even links to
other waves. Discuss and then work together to distill down to the
good ideas.
Interactive Games: Add a gadget to a wave to play live interactive
games with your friends (we're hooked on Sudoku!). See everyone's
moves as they make them in a fast-paced game or take a break and come
back later.
