It will be interesting to see if Google Wave, a new tool released to developers, will assist in knowledge sharing and collaboration activities.  Check out the video and sneak peek and a good article from CIO magazine.  “Google’s newly unveiled Wave may be called a communication and collaboration tool, but it’s much more than that. Wave combines key trends that we’ve seen the last couple years on the Web into one elegant application. And it may make today’s enterprise tools such as Microsoft SharePoint look ridiculously complicated.”  It “mixes old technologies like e-mail, IM and online documents in a unified, socially-oriented view, could break down the traditional ways in which we compartmentalize and separate information — both as consumers and businesspeople.”  Looking forward to hearing how this tool might affect knowledge management practices at KMWorld 2009, Nov 17-19, in San Jose CA.
