Google Wave, the application that promises to revolutionise collaborative work and communication between friends and colleagues, has received a practical endorsement from members of the scientific community, who are already using it to work together on collaborative projects.
Highly respected scientists at MIT, Stanford, Cambridge and Harvard, among others are already using the application with their research teams and peers, which isn’t bad for a product that’s not even really in its beta stage.
Cameron Neylon, of the Science and Technology Facilities Council elaborates on the particular uses of Wave…
“Where it really wins for science is that actually these documents or ‘Waves’ can be made automated so we can connect up documents and ideas with each other… A particular chemical compound, for instance, could be labelled and linked back to a database,”
Google will no doubt be pretty pleased with this free publicity for wave. It adds to a pretty healthy buzz around the application generated by well, pretty much anyone who’s done any research into it. It’s excitement that this blogger certainly isn’t immune to, Come on Google, give me an account, please…
