Google Wave - what is it?
At a fundamental level, Wave is an open protocol specification. The idea is that, as with email, a variety of companies will develop competing clients (eg. Outlook, Hotmail, Mail.app, Thunderbird) and servers (eg. Exchange, Postfix, Courier) based on the Wave specification.
On a more practical level Wave is email, real-time chat and collaborative content editing & versioning rolled into one. It allows for multiple people to communicate in real time using text and rich content, while retaining the full history of the conversation and the ability to browse backwards and forwards through this history.
Wave also incorporates a framework for developers to create gadgets (client side mini-apps that run within a wave) and robots (server side applications that interact with waves in various ways).

Guess I better learn the API sooner or later...

Emails and web applications
the pearls: So some quick tips on application driven emails:

• Make the email as useful as possible: Can you get enough into the email so that reading it is enough, and no click is needed?


• Make your links as specific as possible: If you do need a link, make sure that the one click gets your reader right to where they need to be.


• Simplify as much as possible: Pull out unnecessary elements from your email. That may mean less design elements, shorter sentences or less copy.
