Winterwell catches the Google Wave

The Winterwell office has caught Google Wave. We've signed up on the beta-testing program to ride this new fangled would-be email-killer.

If you've not heard of Google Wave, it's a cross between an email system, and a document editor for groups of people (e.g. like a wiki - or a Google Docs document). Plus it has some extra features. Notably it's open to other companies building on it, or even running their own compatible systems.

Now what to do with it?

We're experimenting with it as a collaborative working tool. It looks shiny. How will it compare in practice with our established setup of email + shared version-controlled files?

We'll also be looking into the API to see what applications and widgets we can build with it. If you're interested in developing a Google Wave app or robot with us, please get in touch,
