I recommend you to check out the video for Google Wave and sign up.

It seems it will allow a form of monitoring Public Relations on your website - 2.0. From a SEO perspective, this may allow for monitoring your long tail keywords. What do you think?

A quick, factual update that follows the thread: Google Wave was unveiled at Google I/O in May 2009 as a real‑time collaboration experiment, but it never reached mainstream adoption. Google announced on August 4, 2010 that it would stop developing Wave as a standalone product (the core code and protocols were opened to developers), and the Wave codebase later moved into the Apache incubator; the Apache Wave podling was retired in 2018. (developers.googleblog.com)

On the SEO/PR point raised by and the practical takes from and : Wave was primarily a collaborative, real‑time platform rather than a publishing or discovery system. Because it was experimental, short‑lived, and not built as an SEO/publishing channel, it was never a dependable place to base long‑term backlink or long‑tail keyword strategies (and Google itself chose to stop standalone development). (googleblog.blogspot.com)

Practical alternatives for monitoring long‑tail keywords and mentions today: use web‑wide alerting plus site‑level tools. Set up targeted Google Alerts for exact phrases and variations, and use Google Search Console to inspect which queries bring impressions and clicks for your site. Combine those with a backlink / social‑listening tool of your choice for cross‑platform coverage. ()

Quick 3‑step starter plan

  1. Create Alerts for branded + long‑tail phrases.
  2. Verify your site in Search Console and review Performance > Queries for long‑tail data.
  3. Add a backlink/social listener (paid or freemium) to capture mentions on social and other sites.

Takeaway: interesting idea at the time, but Wave never matured into an SEO channel — focus monitoring efforts on tools built for discovery and indexing instead. (googleblog.blogspot.com)

Having looked deeper, this is not going to aid your SEO from what I can make out, it is a realtime collaborative tool, sort of like project management software for the twitter generation!
