I’ve been reading about Wave, Google’s new, not yet available, open-source communications platform and I’m thinking that this thing looks an awful lot like the Facebook feed on steroids. Real time communications with groups of friends or individuals, recordable, searchable, easy to incorporate any kinds of files, accessible anywhere, integrates IM, Facebook and Twitter, and on and on.

Google has been making noise about real time search similar to Twitter and this looks like their answer. And it looks like a good one, especially as they already have millions of registered users (Gmail account owners).

Something is going to become the default communications screen across all devices. This looks like a pretty good candidate.
