Google Wave

Other Chit-Chat

I think it would be much better if you could include people who only have regular email also – Then you could email them and include them in the conversation, eventually they would have to get Wave, based upon the assumption that since Wave is more like IMing they would get way behind in their replies.

I don’t know about you guys, but I prefer my Waves in robotics teams than in Google applications.

My school’s Battlebots team uses it to colloaborate, share designs, specifications, etc. I really haven’t figured out how to optimally use it.

#31

Haha, the whole “email a wave” idea made me think about what would happen if you were sent an email for each update. That would be funny to see!

I don’t use it much for real use, but for casual group chat it’s fine

I believe that just like Gmail, Gtalk (in Gmail), Facebook, and Twitter that it will become more popular and used instead of e-mail.

For me personally gtalk in gmail has replaced the need for having a dedicated instant messaging client like Aim, Yahoo, or MSN.

The biggest problem Google Wave faces right now is the fact that no one has Google Wave accounts. My guess is that in the future Google Wave will be able to communicate with e-mail clients but wont be able to take advantage of its fully feature set. This will allow for people to fully switch over to google wave as their main form of communication rather then typical e-mail. or there is the possibility that all gmail accounts could be turned into google wave account and then you have a huge user base.

Just a note here is a tutorial on using twitter in Google Wave:
