I'm interested to know if Google Waves are going to eliminate spam from the ground up, or will we still receive Viagra spam Waves? Also will one be able to add participants to a Wave and restrict what they can do to the Wave? For instance, Waves could replace blog entries and only some participants would be able to edit it, whilst others would be able to comment on it, others only able to read it, and still others not be able to even know it is there. What about sending Waves to a huge list of subscribers, like mailing lists? If Waves are truly to replace email as we know it today, I'd like to know how these functions are going to be addressed. It's an exciting concept that the Google Wave team has presented and it would be wonderful to have a truly innovative upgrade to email. This product is long overdue. I hope it does all it seems to promise to do. What I want from it is a giant leap forward in productivity and an end to time lost on spam and other inbox clutter. - Richard Catto from FriendFeed MT Plugin
