Google Wave is "a personal communication and collaboration tool"
announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27,
2009.[1][2] It is a web based service, computing platform, and
communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging,
wiki, and social networking.[3] It has a strong collaborative and
real-time[4] focus supported by robust spelling/grammar checking,
automated translation between 40 languages[2], and numerous other
extensions.[4] It is expected to be released later in 2009.

which is from O.E. wagian "to move to and fro" (cf. O.S., O.H.G. wag,
O.Fris. weg, O.N. vagr "water in motion, wave, billow," Goth. wegs
"tempest;" see wag (v.)). The usual O.E. word for "moving billow of

the Yankees-A's AL championship series game in the Oakland Coliseum;
soon picked up and popularized at University of Washington. To make
waves "cause trouble" is attested from 1962. Wavy is recorded from
