A case in point: Google Wave. The product seeks to introduce a completely new way of communicating online by combining elements from email, instant messaging, wikis and social networks with the ability to share documents, maps, images and video - all rolled up into a single new web-based tool.

Head Google engineer Lars Rasmussen said the company planned to open Wave up to everyone early next year but first wanted to make sure all of the bugs were ironed out and that Google's servers could handle the load.
"It is a new type of communication - email is the way most people still communicate, which is remarkable because the technology was invented 40 years ago," he said.
"If you look at a picture of the first computer that sent an email, it looks sort of like a cockpit in an old airplane."
Some enterprising bloggers have tried to sell their sought-after Wave invitations on eBay, even though it breaches the site's terms of service.
