Google Wave, an emerging real-time online collaboration software by Google, will have very significant applications for meetings. Think of it as email, SMS, text messaging, file/photo sharing, a wiki and much more combined. My next blog posting and my newsletter will focus on several of these options. In the meantime, a great introductory video about Google Wave can be found below:
Google Wave was used for collaborative note taking at a recent ECOMM conference. This will be one of many applications including:
- Developing a collaborative meeting agenda
- Meeting invitations
- Group brainstorming
- Back-channel conversation tool (such a Twitter) for events
- Group reports and follow up
- Photo and file sharing for events
- Conference feedback
The video below shows how the collaborative note taking was done.
