Google wave is a new online collaborative tool which combines the shared documents of google apps and google groups with the real time options of instant messenger and chat rooms. It is currently in the beta stage, and one of the first major uses for it among the tech savy beta testers is to organize for online RPGs.

People can get up to speed with what changes were made by playing document like a video. This could help with lack of thought process cues compared to face to face communication that I mentioned in my earlier blog about online communication in the design process.
