Google Wave to open September 30 - Telegraph
So the announcement has been made - Google Wave will be open for business from the end of September, or rather, it'll be available to 100,000 (I'm assuming, select) users, with the rest of us getting our hands on it a month or so later. But what does this really mean? Having seen the original announcement earlier this year, I've been really excited by the possibilities Wave will bring. It could easily spark the end of e-mail as we know it. The problem is that it's unlikely that many ISPs, companies, universities etc will immediately rush out and change their IMAP and POP servers over to wave, particularly if the integration with classical e-mail isn't great. I mean, how useful would it be to have this amazing new way of communicating if there isn't anyone to communicate with. I imagine it'll be like the early days of facebook when it was only open to university students and I had 2 friends! I just hope it doesn't take too long for wave to become ubiquitous; it'll be quite boring otherwise...
