Description

The 28th of May this year might end up being one of the most influential 24-hour periods in web history. It was on this day that Google launched a new communications platform called Google Wave, and if Wave lives up to its promise it may change digital communication forever. While the web elite are all abuzz about the impact of this new platform on the way we communicate, Google has quietly been releasing a steady stream of new products and further improvements to their core product, the search engine and its related advertising tools. Google is not going to give us a roadmap for what this all means, but it is possible to look at the patterns and take a long view.
