So the big news in recent weeks has been the presentation of Google Wave, due to be fully launched later in the year. You can check out the presentation here.

As with virtually any new search/social media release, there’s immediate talk of it being a *killer – with twitter being the * in this particular case. It’s also been suggested that this is Google’s shot at robbing some of facebook’s thunder.

Time will tell, but what’s particularly interesting to me is the fact that it’s going to be open source, and the possibilities for integrtation with your website or blog, allowing you to directly apply some principles of social networking to your own website.

Boduweb are already working on an idea for one of our clients – we’ll keep you posted here on the blog about developments. Exciting times ahead!
