The same developers who gave you Google Maps now think they've come up with the single best way for users to navigate all the communication and collaboration tools they currently use on a computer. Judging from some early tech press/blogger reaction, as well as an early thumbs-up from the development community, Google Wave may indeed have the ability to take on not only the most popular office applications, but also the hottest social networks. Google Wave washed over the crowd Thursday at Google's I/O developer conference in San Francisco.
Will It Make Sense To Add AdsSense

This is a great overview of the new Google Wave. I think Google has done it again! If the the platform is stable, somewhat easy to understand and to use, and we can all be comfortable with the privacy of our information, I think people will begin to migrate over from other social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. I think networks such as LinkedIn have such a specific niche they won't be affected. Then the next question is; how is Google going to monetize the Wave? Will it become the all encompassing "freemium" business model where we will tolerate a minimal amount of advertising in exchange for using this app for free and then have the option of "buying" our way out of the advertising with a monthly subscription? I didn't notice Google's AdSense, but I am sure that with the success Google has had with inserting their AdSense into email and web sites, adding AdSense makes good sense. - Lon Safko, Author "The Social Media Bible"
