A closer slightly closer look at Google Wave shows that it doesn't do well in waves with lots of participants. I was in Lifehacker's public wave (or at least one of them) and made Firefox 3.5.3 almost unusable. That particular wave made the tab Chrome 3.0.x sluggish. Keep in mind, from a technical or even an organizational standpoint collaborating with 200+ people in a wave is not likely and not efficient between so much movement in the wave at any given time making it hard to read, hard to manage, and slow to load.
My other complaint is that there are so few people that I know in real life that it isn't really worthwhile (yet). I think it's only a matter of time before people I have stuff to collaborate with have access to it. But I do see a lot of potential once there are more adopters.
This blog will follow my eclectic interests ranging from IT trends to politics to economics because these topics are inseparably connected. My posts are my own opinion and do not reflect the thoughts or actions of my employer.

Google Wave
I managed to get a Google Wave preview account. I don't think any of my friends are on it and I don't have any invites (yet) unfortunately. So I'm kind of dead in the water on what I can do with it.
