I watched this video of Gravity and was simply blown away. This is the best example I have seen, to date, of what Google Wave is.Clearly, what it is not is a replacement for this and that (Twitter, Facebook, e-mail, etc). What it is, is the most awesome business collaboration tool ever developed! It is basically Web 2.0 for business…finally, BTW.

I have taken this description of Gravity right from their site and it reads as such:

Gravity is a prototype developed by SAP Research in Brisbane, Australia and SAP NetWeaver Development providing real-time, cloud-based collaborative business process modelling within Google Wave. We have embedded Gravity as a Google Wave “gadget” that can be added within the Google Wave client. Leveraging the collaborative features of Google Wave, all business process modelling activities get propagated in near real-time to all other participants of the Wave. In addition, participants of the Wave can use all other features provided by Google and its developer community to enrich the collaborative modelling experience.

Now watch this video. After you will understand the unbelievable power/promise that Google Wave can bring to the business world. I say again, it is not for somebody who has 25,000 followers. It is for serious folks trying to do real world problem solving via collaboration…i.e the grown-up side of Web 2.0.

Finally, Web 2.0 for business has arrived and I cannot think of a better example, to date, that truly shows that power it could bring to business. This is just one collaborative process that take’s place in the business world. Typically, this model would have to be built by one person, passed around and reviewed by peers and then the changes recommended by those peers talked about in a meeting. Then the changes agreed too implemented. Then the new model sent around again for concurrence and acceptance.

Again, I emphasis, this is one example of similar type tasks that take place everyday in the business world. The game changing promise that Google Wave brings to business is just amazing and this video highlights that perfectly!
