Google co-founder Sergey Brin has put his reputation behind a project launched today by a team from Google Australia which seeks to overthrow email as the dominant mode of internet communication and replace it with a new hybrid.”What we are seeing with Wave really rethinks how communication works,” Brin said today. “I think you will see a form of interaction that you would not have previously imagined.”

Jens and Lars Rasmussen, the two brothers who created what would become Google Maps, have spent the last couple of years holed up in Google’s offices in Sydney, Australia, dreaming up a new tool for communicating over the Web. On Thursday, at a Google conference for developers in San Francisco, they showcased the fruits of their work: Google Wave.Google Wave is an application running in a Web browser that creates a shared online desktop where two or more users can interact easily. They can exchange messages as they would do in e-mail or instant messaging conversation. They can share and edit rich documents that include formatted text, images and graphics. They can also drag and drop simple applications called widgets into a Wave to, for example, play a game together. And they can save and publish any Wave resulting from their collaboration to the Web.
