Some Key Points

A wave is both part conversation and part document.

Making it easier for people to work together, and communicate in real-time then ever before

Anybody who is using google wave and sharing, can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add or include extra people at any point in the duration of their wave.

When a wave has ended, anybody can rewind the entire wave and play it back, allowing them to view who changed what, said what or added anything during the live wave.

While a wave is live, anybody can interact in realtime, allowing editing and conversations in faster time. Users will also be able to interact with extensions, all in real-time.
