Google Wave: Now open to the public

Google Wave is now open to the public.

Google Wave, a Web-based tool to let people chat and collaborate in real time, is now open to the public.

“It’s clear from the invaluable feedback we've received that Wave is a great place to get work done, in particular for teams working together on projects that involve lots of discussion and close coordination,” Google Wave product manager Stephanie Hannon said Wednesday in a blog post. “If you tried Google Wave out a while ago and found it not quite ready for real use, now is a good time to come back for a second try.”

Google is making Wave freely available to Google Apps users, too. “Google Wave is about getting work done,” said Lars Rasmussen, a Wave leader.

We at the Cosmic Networks are already using Wave on our domain, and like it a lot.  And hey, it’s free!  Check it out right now at http://wave.google.com
