Essentially,  Google wows a room full of developers (aka clapping technoheads) at their  conference and win them over for 30 minutes of collaboration technologies. I&#8217;m  not impressed by the collaboration features themselves, I&#8217;ve seen pieces from  other collaboration vendors and community platform vendors that have elements of  this, or similar features that can accomplish the meet the needs of the same use  case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What it Means:\u00a0Technologies are boring, what they <\/strong><em><strong>do <\/strong><\/em><strong>is what matters: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After discussing with Forrester&#8217;s enterprise software analyst <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.softwareinsider.org\/\">Ray Wang<\/a>, \u00a0we both agree the\u00a0Google  Wave is about bringing together the Web 2.0 lifestyle to become a workstyle.<\/li>\n<li>Google&#8217;s apporach is \u00a0signicant because it will enter the workforce without  having to go through IT management.
