Google Wave is tipped to be the next big online collaboration tool, but will this be a success or is it just innovation that won't fit the bill? There are currently a few online collaboration tools such as Huddle and Basecamp, However, Google Wave boasts to be more than just a corporate opportunity. It gives the opportunity for you to communicate and collaborate with colleagues, friends and family.

Google Wave will allow users to converse and edit documents in realtime; from pictures to files. All in one place.

As always, Google seems to be creating tools that are moving with the changes in user interaction and behaviour (that are also useful). I'll be interested to see how this turns out, and whether this is going to be revolutionary, or a product that will eventually be put on the shelf.Beta testing should be soon if the product is released later this year so keep your eyes peeled.
