LOL! Usenet was there, first, and you can do all these things on Usenet, too.

I’d suggest actually that these are 5 things you could only do with Drop.io before Googel Wave launched… Drop.io has been around longer and has the same plus more functionality…

For in some ways, using http://drop.io is kind of like using a Google Wave of the future when it’s caught up and matured…

Wave is far superior than google docs for collaborative work, not least because you can multiple edit in real time, and see others edits in real time. As someone who spends a lot of time working collaboratively on documents in this way, while talking voip, believe me – it makes a BIG difference.

Not writing any more here, but the only limit to wave really is your imagination. The instant it is stable – you won’t get me or my team out.

I only just started using google wave, but one thing is certain, it has a lot of potential. Even if most of the things can also be done by other apps, wave integrates them all in one. I think however the most important thing is to see what google’s wave can do for you. And for some it will be alot. For some it will be nothing.

The Sudoku sharing experience would be incentive for me to join a wave.

1. You can’t do in Google Docs what you can do in even, specifically you can’t play back a Google Docs document that reflects all the steps that were taken to reach a final version of any given document.

2. Feedback is feedback:The return of information about the result of a process or activity; an evaluative response

3. Well, I am glad that the people that are doing it keep in mind that they are contacting with clients: they can’t be aggressive and they should explain all issues in a clear way. Since the FAQ wave is already very comprehensive the questions posed to the helpdesk are usually very technical.

4 and 5: You edit code with people from around the world on Twitter, Facebook or MySpace. You play on the same Sudoku board with other players all of them helping for it to get solved? Please show me, I am curious

1. Google Docs does this already
2. Feedback is a two sided sword there
3. This is a bad idea, often we write things to customers, then realize we need to reword it less offensively or in aless technical way, seeing it life can be bad!
4 & 5, come on, we do that already on multitudes of other websites facebook,myspace,twitter,etc

Lisa, actually you can’t do it to the extent that Google Wave allows you to.

Isn’t Wave kind of like integrating Docs, plus a chat room, plus a blog/wiki, plus whatever you can do with gadgets (like voting, ranking)?

Oh and also, we are using it as a tool to collaborate with all the DJs/Artists and VJs for our upcoming Lazy Sunday Video/Radio show in february 2010. ( http://lsr.tpolm.org/ )

Dear commenters and blogger.

Nice post – but bad comments. You all suck.

R: Dan

Now if this reply thread was done as a wave, then you could just edit-and sub-edit my response to look like:

Dear Mom and Dad.

I am not qualified to comment on such a complex post as this.

True, but you need programming skills and knowledge that the regular user doesn’t have.

You can do all this with Eclipse ECF and XMPP, no google required.
