Do you still remember Google Wave? Google Wave was launched 6 months back, and people who got invitation to try it out, waved bye bye to it, for Wave being not user friendly. Now Google Wave is now openly available to everyone, without having to wait for an invitation.
Google has announced that the one doesn’t require a Google wave invitation to access the service as it can be used straight from the homepage. Google says that, if you tried Google Wave out a while ago, and found it not quite ready for your real use, now is a good time to come back for a second try.
According to Google, Wave is much faster and much more stable and eazier to use than the preview. You can now get email notifications when waves change, easily navigate to unread parts of a wave, and remove participants added by mistake. Wave now have permission management options and an extensions gallery. Along with the Wave updates, Google announced several improvements to the Wave APIs and open sourcing additional components for developers building their own Wave services.
