I’m sure this isn’t new news to many, but Google released their version of web based collaboration software not long ago.  Currently you have to have an invitation to use it (similar to what they did with email when gmail was released).  I finally received an invite and have had a chance to experiment with it.  My first thought is that it will be very cool if you can get people to buy into it.  Personally I use google for email, calendar, document management and other things, so I will no doubt be using Google Wave for collaboration.  Here’s a short video from their “googlewave” channel that explains what it is fairly well:

Start checking back often or just subscribe to our blog.  Our goal is to role a post out every week with an occasional update in between.
