You should update your subject to reflect that Wave does not work in IE :-)

Well that's one way to interpret Wave. Not sure how it's different from a forum where every user has edit access to every post! :~

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkIt's quite similar to that... The biggest difference being that if i'm conversing with someone who actually is online at the time, we see each other's responses in real time - that tends to shorten responses. Example: A friend asked me a question about a problem he was having with his PC. I responded, asking for more details. When he replied, I was still online, so I immediately asked him if he'd tried a few things, he responding to each as I asked, and upon finding one thing he hadn't tried I elaborated on it. This all took about ten minutes - unless I sat in a forum constantly hitting "refresh", there's no way it would have gone that fast; indeed, i would probably have skipped it entirely and just listed in detail each potential solution, wasting time writing up instructions for things he had already tried. The big down-side right now is that performance sucks. Especially once a given "wave" has collected more than 100 or so individual responses. So long conversations bog down considerably.

Yes.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

But an IM client would have been the right choice here. You'd both be online, you'd both chat live, and the history would get saved too.

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkI wasn't online when he asked the question though. And he wasn't online when I first replied. Sonork's reply feature aside, I haven't really seen IM clients that do much in the way of threaded conversation... or handle offline messages between groups particularly well.

Agree about Sonork. But I still don't see the Wave advantage you're talking about here. Seems to me you are just inventing ways to try and make some sense of it. I guess the thinking is that Google can't have released a web-app about nothing so you've got to figure out some way to use it :) The live see what the others are typing existed during the ICQ days too - for some reason Yahoo and MSN messengers didn't have it.

I've had a Wave account for months now, but seriously am not worse for never having used it.

I have had a Google Wave accout for several months and never used it. Don't know what people find so interesting about it. Though now that you've posted it, I've logged in once again and found that I've got 25 invitations to give. So feel free to ask me if Pete runs out.
Hi daniel I have a same situation. :doh: And Wave seems appealing and promising. It have some interesting features in sharing. Probably what it lacks is users, if more and more users(friends/relatives) started to use it then it will be more productive.

Possibly... I don't use Twitter, I don't use normal IM unless someone happens to catch me with GMail open (and therefore its built-in web client), and I don't use IRC. Folks that do likely have their fill of casual online conversation in any form, so less motivation to learn something new.
