So the Wave has hit and making waves across the RPG bloggersphere. If you don't know what this new trendy topic is all about, well, you're almost as clueless as I am when I first heard it.
For a short explanation, it's a Google platform that combines IM Chat, forum and wiki functionality into one, consequently, called a wave. For an hour long explanation and demonstration, you could watch this video.
