Seems mighty complicated. Not sure the main stream will adopt it. Not sure I want somebody to see what I'm typing as I type it. I quite often type things and think better of them before I hit send.

i wactched a presentation of Google Wave it would be amazing. Good competitor to the social medias + chat messengers. It would be a new generation, unique product. The Internet would never be the same after Google Wave is realized ;)

Seems like another app where virus's can sneak in. Do we really need this?

I certainly wouldn't. Have enough trouble understanding what all the fuss is about with Twitter.
Another 'me to' application from a big company who thinks they should have one and bully the originators out.
I'm just a cynical old fart (sorry - silver surfer).

I hear this... I retype things so often it's almost a form of therapy.

"A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time."
Above quote from wave.google.com
Looks like a glorified Instant Message program to me. Will they will be popping up all over my screen when I am checking my gmail? Like they do in AOL?

My guess is that the developers at work making plugins for this technology will come up with some compelling uses. I can imagine some pretty cool games, but I can't see many folks I know using the system I saw in the demo video. It's way too intimidating for them, and I'm not convinced it solves any problems they currently have.

It can take me ages to post online, and trying to compose emails at work (particularly those "awkward" ones) is a nightmare. I'm just naturally indecisive.
