Apache Wave

Apache Wave (nee Google Wave) is a real-time collaborative communications... thing. You can type stuff and watch your friends type stuff in real time. You can reply to things. You can attach images. You may never quite figure out what to do with it, but it sure is cool!

In all seriousness, Wave is basically a collaborative document editor with inline comments and threading of those comments. It's great for, say, design discussions, where you have an overall design doc and lots of little things to discuss within it.
