Internet Marketing Toronto AKA Christopher Kata From the original creators of Google Maps comes a new communication platform called Google Wave!

Jens and Lars Rasmussen are the original founders of the Google Maps technology. Today they bring us Google Wave. A new communication platform that Google is developing which will launch later this year.

It blends all of the traditional types of communication into a single wave of rich text, images and more all shared with friends who can interact with it in real time. You can even replay the wave to see what was said by whom and when. Very cool stuff.

To try and ensure mass adoption of the platform Google is open sourcing alot of it. To find out more you can read the official blog post, or visit the Google Wave site.
