"Hi. I've already given my first impressions on Rich's original blog, so I won't repeat myself. I have been wondering if wave could end up being the new friendfeed. My biggest challenge in terms of a Web 2.0 wannabe is actually keeping an eye on everything. Friendfeed helps, but it's not the answer. With the right extensions, wave could merge my emails, RSS, social networks and microblogs into a single consistent stream? You never know. :) I know it's a bit of a trivial use, but maybe that will attract the masses more than the business aspects of collaboration... Cheers Tim..." - oraclebase

"Hi. I watched the 1:20 Google I/O session on youtube. First, let me say I was very impressed by the idea and the technology, but I have some reservations: - Are people ready for a product like Wave? Many people are struggling to cope with basic Web 2.0 concepts and Wave takes it a step further. Not sure how it will be perceived by the non-geeks in the near future. - It is not just a beta in the Google sense of the word. It looks less than an alpha to me. I think there is a long way to go before I would commit to using the product. During the demo there were bugs, page refreshes required and functional omissions. - I wonder what network impact of wave will be. In a large company with constant updates between multiple wave subscribers. Is this going to be an issue? Fast forward 6 months and I hope all my doubts are unfounded. I can't wait to have an interface like wave. :) Cheers Tim..." - oraclebase
