Check out his first article for us, Google Wave is Impressive, But is it Semantic Technology? Here's a snippet:

With the announcement of Google Wave at the recent Google I/O conference in San Francisco, there has been a lot of speculation about what this technology means. Some have suggested that it's semantic technology at work, but is it? Experts we asked don't believe it is in its initial form, but it has the potential to be depending on how people end up using the programmatic hooks into Google Wave.

Google Wave is a unified communications platform. Think of it as a container where you can have email, instant messaging, photos, video and live document sharing in a single place, but the beauty of it is that Waves (collections of interactions, documents and rich media) are not confined to the platform, so you could embed Wave technology in a blog or web site and have the same functionality as inside the program interface. What's more, you could see those interactions as part of the Google Wave interface, or you might never have to open the program, depending on how you implement it.
