Google has dropped yet another bomb on the internet world with a new platform for collaboration called Wave.

It’s a merge of email, IM and social media under one construct with a host of API’s for developers to now leverage those API’s for inclusion into their own sites and for them to also make their own services and extensions with it.

The entire preso can be seen below:

It’s truly fascinating and represents the next revolution online.

I’m getting this app for sure: Pinger.

Although this app like so many others that seem cool for iPhone won’t run in the background while you use another app, check mail, whatever..it sure seems cool. Hopefully Apple is working on simultaneous applications running at the same time.

The app provides a connection layer to your contacts giving you power to IM, email, text, or message through Facebook when they are online. Pinger detects what services the user is logged into as well so you can choose what communication means to use. Kind of neat.
