Here’s a quick video from the Google Wave development team you should check out. This is geared more toward the average user but keep an open mind and you can see how powerful Wave can be for photographers, videographers, editors, publishers, and really anyone who has stuff that needs to be worked on by others.
One example that comes to mind is a photographer can discuss specific edits he wants his photo editor to do – and give concrete examples on actual photos in real time using Wave.
Or you could collaborate with your web designer on what text or photos you want on that new site she’s designing for you. I also see collaborative blogging become more popular with Wave.
Really anyone who’s doing anything creative (particularly on the web) should become familiar with Wave.
I hope to see future integration with video editing apps, or at least a way to display a movie I’m playing in Windows Media Player or Quicktime on my desktop. Imagine showing rough edits you have sitting on your workstation to your client via Wave.
Google Wave is currently in invite-only Preview (beta) but it’s progressing nicely so I expect this to be available to the public shortly. The more people use Wave the more powerful it becomes (like email did, like fax did before that…).
