Why don’t you make waves with the new Google “Simple Communication Object” The wave has conversations, collaboration, media, tweets etc. It is a tool that can function as (Notice I didn’t say replace) many applications that you already use to communicate these days. Here are some of the uses:

• A simple email conversation can be done between 2 or more people, absentee or real time, so you can say, email/chat/IM/SMS rolled into one.
• Instant Mesaging conv will be done, when 2 or more people are on the same wave at the same time (Updates are instantaneous like IM)
• Easy to share photos or other media, Wiki like sites, Click and drag (See below details)
• Collaboratively edit waves/documents. Very impressive, multiple people can update at the same time.
• OS Platform that can let competing companies create Blogging sites, discussion groups, or even a clone of the Wave program so everyone can communicate together within an Intranet or a compbination intra/internet.
• APIs that will let developers build games, let you integrate with other communications systems, like Twitter, and maybe later to Facebook etc.
  Open Source allows the Integration of waves into workflows.
