Wave takes the idea of Instant Messaging, Email, Blogging, Wikis, Flickr, Delicious, Twitter, Discussion Boards and RSS Feeds and rolls them into one idea: Waves. The idea is that a conversion can be had across multiple platforms will multiple people. Google Wave allows information to be posted in one spot and shared with everyone you want. It takes the idea behind RSS Feeds is to bring information to you at a centralized location, the idea behind Wave is sharing information from a central location and having it spread out to all of your apps and networks.
