What's the Big Deal With Google Wave?
justlearning: i got an invite yesterday and my bit of playing around in my own wave (no other contacts have wave) - was of no excitement (say compared to gmail when it came around)however I can imagine super productivity in communication/im for teams sitting across continents.A tiny advantage of wave is that you can watch your colleague typing realtime. Those two minutes of impatient waiting (specially during a heated discussion) now would be drastically shortened. You could forget IM etiquettes during 'waving'.I also thought of similarity with etherpad (specially the code while on the phone interview which was discussed earlier on HN)- where the interviewer may see the interviewee coding live.imho, google wave may not matter now, when the users grow to decent numbers, we will find out.PS: your gmail id becomes your google wave id (I had a good wave-id in the sandbox, i ended up getting my gmail account to the public preview).
