Google’s newest innovation is a super email, social network client called Google Wave.  Part email, part instant messenger, part social network, Google Wave is designed to merge all of your most used features into one communication tool.  Designed to make realtime collaboration and communication seamless and easy, Google Wave has made a big splash.  With limited first run by invitation only Google has decided to keep the initial users to a minimum.  Invitations can be requested on the Google wave site, but seem to be in short supply.  In true Google fashion we hope to see a long running beta, like Gmail with continual updates and innovations.  Interesting enough the inspiration for the name Google Wave comes from the cult classic television show Firefly where they used devices to communicate with a wave, or video communication.  Google Wave promises to be a popular communication integration tool for many applications including the work place.  An all in one web based system will be attractive for many businesses, from small to large.
