In one of the most hotly anticipated programs of the tech world, the first round of Google Wave was released to a select group of testers, according to a CNN article. Their job is to help the creators find glitches in this stage of the program and address them in time for the public release at the end of the year. The creators, Jens and Lars Rasmussen, also developed Google Maps, and their goal for The Wave is to become the new wave of communication for the future. Combining the present communication methods (i.e. e-mail, IM) into one program.
The most widely experienced problems with the program at the moment is its sluggish response time and inclination to crash. However, tech bloggers report that it is one problem that will eventually be solved over time. Overall, they cannot wait until The Wave is ready because the blog, TechCrunch, is convinced it will be ’a new communication platform for a new web.’
