When Google Wave was presented at the Google I/O 2009 earlier this year, the feedback of the blogosphere was incredibly positive. The basic idea of Google Wave is to renew online communication. Because the concept of Emails is already 50 years old, it's time for a renewal. Google Wave therefore combines Email, Chatting, collaborative and simultaneous editing (comparable to a Wiki) in one single tool. But not enough, Google Wave is also a protocol and it's (Google style) completely open, which means that Google Wave can be used on Google servers - but also installed on your companies server. And because Google Wave is expandable through APIs and other plug-ins, it's really a role model for Open Innovation.
But today's question is not only how Google Wave uses Open Innovation, but what Google Wave can do for Open Innovation in your company.
