    7 Things You Should Know About Google Wave -- PDF

    Google Wave is a web-based application that represents a rethinking of electronic communication.

Users access waves through the web, resulting in a model of communication in which rather than sending separate copies of multiple messages to different people, the content resides in a single space.
