Christened Wave, the new system is a combination of email and instant messaging and document-, maps- image- and video-sharing all housed in one spot (screenshots can be found here).

Yes thanks for this I also had never heard of it before this post. I looked at the screen shots and it seems like it has taken googlemail and google talk and combined them both, is that right?

Yes, they appear to be shooting for being a all-in-one communication tool.
