Waving Goodbye to 2009: Google Wave Style

The one when the mystery surrounding Google Wave finally came together and made sense for me.  If you're still trying to get there, the video above is a fun 2009 year in review compiled using the functionality of Google Wave. But if it leaves you wondering what the practical uses of Wave might be for you and your organization, we've compiled a list of some great resources here.
