GoogleWave
Google wave is the next wave in the collaboration space. Gmail always provided a context to a conversation by grouping threads. This takes it to the next level by providing the context in line. Email is almost becoming irrelevant in the consumer space the same way snail mail was sometime ago. Social networking tools will do to email what email did to mail. Email will be relegated to official docs and junk. Google wave is going to make the process faster.
Enterprise adoption will send wiki's to oblivion. Enterprises will need a better security and auditing model, if it is not already being built. Real time nature of this protocol open's a whole new communication channel that will be used in exciting new ways. I have a feeling that the wave client is just the appetizer. The real killer app is yet to come.
I am looking forward to seeing how google voice will be integrated.
This looks like a much better platform for unified messaging than a lot of the earlier pretenders.
