Google Waves Goodbye to E-Mail, Welcomes Real-Time Communication by WebMonkey

Google Wave promises to revolutionize the way we communicate and collaborate online. It works in real-time. If someone else writes something, you see it immediately. Anything can be edited much like a wiki, and you can share files via waves. At any point you can play back the wave to see who did what. Finally, waves can be extended by third-party applications.

Google Wave will be available later this year.

Instacalc – Online Calculator

Instacalc is a web application that gives you a fully functional calculator right in your browser. It supports unit and currency conversions, and it can do trig and log functions.

You can embed live calculations in a website. For example, I have embedded some simple calculations below, and you can modify them as you wish. The results appear as you type.

While not as powerful as Tusanga Calculator (which we discussed here), Instacalc is a very useful tool for most calculations.
