Uh, Wave is complicated and this article gave me a headache.
What’s the point of writing something to whine about Wave being complex if you can’t even keep it simple?

Pop, grandpop, I am tired of you guys letting big time computing drive this family apart. It’s bad enough you divorced ma because she bought a mac. Anyways, Google wave in it’s current state is mostly useless and that is all anyone who has used it, as myself, can say right now. I speculate Google find a use somewhere, but I really think most people don’t understand that the candy does’t taste as good as the wrapper leads you to believe. This is the reason that most people have not used it. It simply is not ready yet for public use, it is not a finished product.

Wow. One thing for sure Google Wave is easier to understand than this mess of an article.

“The prize is stream control, the metering of stream dynamics and some sort of pass-off to a stream feed that can be consumed after the high order Yammer-type business flow is absorbed.”

Quite possibly the worst sentence ever written.

Well. I do have a wave account. It does everything as advertised, but it is in pre-alpha, nevertheless it is usable. It is better than e-mail even if you are using it as an e-mail, as it is obviously threaded, there are no 56k e-mails containing reply quotes a 100x times, there are the photos commented, named, videos included, named, at the right place, and the basic platform is only something like a browser: the interesting part comes with the robots and gadgets. I comment on blogs, but if wave is included, I don’t need to look back or clog my e-mail account with thousands of notifiers. It can (and will) replace RSS too, also, news can be shared more easily, commented on for some friends only who can react and keep all this in a single wave (like a single e-mail in your box). I am also a SME owner, manager. We can’t get around our e-mails on single projects: sometimes a project includes over a hundred e-mail exchanges. I receive about 80 e-mails per day. I try to sort them, but at several thousand per folder, you have no chance. Especially when you use 6 e-mail accounts, and your colleagues too, which one she used? which one she sent it to… Here the whole conversation will be in one wave, or if not in a daughter wave directly linked from the main one forking at the right place… Those with just a little bit of imagination see that the concept rocks. Obviously, implementations may limit the success, BUT this is an open API. Maybe there will be a next Thunderbird 4.0 using waves, hundred times faster than the browser based one, with preload cache, maybe the’ll optimize youtube embedding, etc.etc. There was once a corporation called Microsoft, who the unimaginative system called Windows. If the OSX would be an open operating system and could be pirated (along with the software written for it) by half the planet, Windows would have died at 3.1.

I’m not wrong; I am as enthralled at the possibilities as anybody, but many of the implications of the realtime environment are already better constructed elsewhere. That said, Wave will be a success in that it will bring Google into the game, which will have an appropriate effect on other players. Which is what you said, and what I said in the post.

Your position is a little unclear. But if you’re saying Google Wave sucks – you’re wrong. It’s pretty early and nerds are certainly buzzing about it. It’s hard to decide what’s real and what’s hype. There are certainly bugs. And the slow roll out makes it hard to connect with others and determine just how relevant it is. But this kind of living dialogue — this conversation in real time — the collaborative creation of content — it is inevitable and it is the future. So it might suck today. But it’ll change everything tomorrow.

Not really sure if I understand a lot of what was said here, seems a little too incoherent to be useful.

I do know that I like the direction the Wave team have said Wave will go, so if they (or developers) can deliver, I’ll be a very happy bunny

Agreed with above that this was shit writing.

However, I’m also in the camp that google wave won’t get much adoption outside the nerd-o-sphere

Without a doubt, Wave is far too complex for it to ever catch on. Only a handful of people would ever use it for all its designed to do, and even if you want to use just its basic features it takes a solid hour at least to understand it. That might not seem like a whole heck of a lot of time for the computer geeks out there, but 98% of people out there won’t waste their time on Youtube tutorials trying to figure out how to send a fricking email. Not to mention million other reasons why they clearly didn’t think this out very well. I’m tired of folks beating off to “anything Google does.” That said, Gmail rocks.

I haven’t used Wave, I’ve seen screenshots so take this for what’s worth.

In its current shape I won’t give Wave a try because
a) I lack the time, and
b) it won’t save me time, au contraire

The alternative is email.
I hate it, I really do because I already get too much email and I can’t get anything done when I get all those emails.
It does have some obvious advantages; I can send it to everyone who matters and I can get it from just about anyone who matters.

It’s not that difficult to understand.
This thing called Wave needs to improve.
