Google Wave – the end of email as we know it

  Gizmag has a story about Google Wave.  Google Wave will be out for the public in September.

”E-mail has been dawdling along in much the same form since the early days of the Internet. In fact, e-mail now feels like a pretty stodgy, clunky and formal style of online communication. But hold onto your seats, because Google is about to turn e-mail on its head with the release of a revolutionary new technology called Google Wave that's due to start trickling into users' hands this September. Wave combines the strengths of e-mail with the immediacy of instant messaging and the collaborative power of social networking - and wraps that all up into a killer web application that can then be embedded into any web page or used as a private communication system. Sound complicated? It is - but you'll understand it perfectly after watching this ten-minute video.”

I have no interest in or desire to get and use Google Wave. I am very happy with just the old email.  I have no interest in IM communication or in social  networking.
