Google’s new wave collaboration tool looks exceptional

While I recommend that you watch this entire video, I’ve configured it to start at the spell checker feature, as it is an example of what is so truly amazing about this application.  Forget about what you know about spell checkers.  This is skynet re-purposed to spell check.  In addition to the usual social networking uses, I imagine students with similar academic interests finding each other and collaborating within and outside the application.  Doing away with our under-performing bulletin board so as to have a more rich ongoing conversation with busy staff is also appealing.
