What is Google Wave?
Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration between people from various platforms. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

When can I use Google Wave?
Although Google Wave can be used in lot of ways, here are few examples to demonstrate it.
1. Organising Events: Keep a single copy of your ideas, and items to discuss, rather than using many different tools. Use gadgets to add weather, maps and more to the event.
2. Group Projects: Collaboratively work in real time to draft content, discuss and solicit feedback all in one place rather than sending email attachments and creating multiple copies that get out of sync.
3. Photo Sharing: Drag and drop photos from your desktop into a wave. Share with others. Use the slideshow viewer. Everyone on the wave can add their photos, too. It is easy to make a group photo album in Google Wave.
4. Meeting Notes: Prepare a meeting agenda together; share the burden of taking notes and record decisions so you all leave on the same page. Team members can follow the minutes in real time, or review the history using Playback.
5. Brainstorming: Bring lots of people into a wave to brainstorm - live concurrent editing makes the quantity of ideas grow quickly! It is easy to add rich content like videos, images, URLs or even links to other waves. Discuss and then work together to distil down to the good ideas.
6. Interactive Games: Add a gadget to a wave to play live interactive games with your friends (we're hooked on Sudoku!). See everyone's moves as they make them in a fast-paced game or take a break and come back later.
