Exciting news from Google. The NextWeb confirms a Business Week article about Google launching an App Store -- similar to Apple's iPhone App Store -- for Google Wave. This could be big.
Wave is a unified communication platform, weaving together instant messaging, e-mail, and real-time collaboration. There are currently dozens of similar collaboration platforms, the biggest being offerings from Microsoft's 2007 suite, but Wave has significant advantages. It's open platform and it runs entirely in the cloud, unlike the Microsoft offering that has resource heavy requirements like MS 2007 Server and Office suites installed on all clients. To see what Wave is like, check out the videos here.
Now if only I can get my hands on a beta invite to Wave.
