It remains to be seen if Google Wave will catch on next year, but in the meantime someone has found a novel use for the collaboration tool that is infinitely more fun and intelligent than another end of year list.

US agency Whirled Interactive (hat tip), which created the much shared Pulp Wave Fiction, has produced a round-up of the biggest current affairs and social media moments this year in Google Wave form.

As you would expect it’s US-centric if anyone is wondering who is ‘Jon and Kate Gosselin + 8′ and where is Jade Goody? But it had me thinking ‘I wish i’d thought of that’.
