For most of us, today was a day of extreme disappointment as we found out that we didn’t receive one of the 100,000 Google Wave invites that were sent out.  That’s no reason to not learn as much as possible about Wave before we get a chance to use it.  Developers have been hard at work to bring extensions to the service while we’ve all been waiting for its release.  One the more interesting extensions is 6rounds.

6rounds was given the opportunity to be the first video chat option on Google Wave and seems to have been a great choice.  6rounds offers not only a chance for plain video chat, the service also has features such as effects and “gifts” you can give the other person involved.  What sets it apart from other video chat options is the opportunity to visit websites with your chat partner or play games offered by 6rounds as well.  All of this can be done within a Wave without having to install extra applications.

6rounds looks to be an interesting addition to Google Wave and its features could add a lot to the service.  The fact that you can use it without having to setup an account with 6rounds makes it even better; that way you will only need to convince people to use Google Wave, as if there should be any convincing at all.  6rounds was given a great opportunity in being chosen to make a Wave extension and it looks like it’s done a good job.
