I foresee a lot of miscommunication, especially re sent messages that are really drafts, and this whole "invite everyone in the world to join the LIVE conversation" also sounds like it could lead to lots of people writing/sending/seeing/reading things they shouldn't, etc etc.

But it looks pretty cool I GUESS.

i'm optimistic because it might make third party apps like basecamp useless. i do some web development w/ projects that kind of fit and start with different players and a wave would be perfect for keeping all the crap in one nice document.

I watched about 20 minutes of this, but couldn't continue because the audience clapping was getting too annoying.

I still remember the not-completely-describable apps that were going to change the world in 1997.  Still waiting.  The stuff that changed the world (a little, even) mostly wasn't supposed to - but it could be described pretty quick.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I'd be willing to barter a cross stitch for the invite.

I know some people that got one but I don't want to beg.

In fact I'm kind of sour at Google now, since their ActiveSync for mobile devices sucks.

I'll give it to Andy because he responded first.

pm me your email (no cross stitch necessary).

Maybe I'm wrong but I agree with this article:

http://www.slate.com/id/2232311/pagenum/all

I also don't like communication that is "live."  I'm always hated IM and anything like it.  The past few years have seen me deactivating facebook and google chat.  Wave can be synchronous like a phone call or asynchronous like email.  I like asynchronous for business non-emergencies.  Synchronous communications also require always-on broadband.  It does look like it could revolutionize Internet chess.

Gone!

 I'm sure the lucky winner will invite other FOTs. :)

 It takes a while for the invites to process so be patient.
