Adobe Wave is an implementation of RSS feeds

While we still wait to get our hands on a Google Wave invite, we found out about Adobe Wave.

Adobe Wave has nothing to do with Google Wave however. It does not have the same functionality.

In fact, Adobe Wave looks like a specialized version of RSS feed reader which requires a special software along with sites to support it.

Here is what the program description states about Adobe Wave:

When a friend posts a status update or there’s new content on your favorite site, be the first to know. Adobe® Wave™ software gets the information you care about right to your desktop. Click on the Adobe Wave badge on a website you want to follow and you’re ready to go. Best of all, you’re in control: you choose which sites can contact you. If you’re no longer interested, turning it off is a click away — Adobe Wave does not share your email address with websites.

With Adobe Wave, get all of your notifications through a single application. You don’t have to worry about downloading a separate notification application for each website. To find out more, click on a notification to take you to a browser pointing right where you want to go. Built with Adobe AIR® technology that has been installed over 200 million times, Adobe Wave lets you see all your most recent alerts at a glance.

Discover which of your favorite sites are using Adobe Wave. Click “ADD” in the bottom left corner of Adobe Wave to browse the Adobe Wave Gallery. Here, you can add feeds with a single click.

We can only say. WHY? What is wrong with feed readers? Or even alerts through Twitter!
