Most of that seems to come from the fact that nobody seems to get what Wave is for. So they compare it to social media. Is Wave the next Twitter? Nope. Is it the next Facebook? I believe this is partly Google’s fault: they released Wave to geeks and hackers and social media folks first. At Woobius, we’ve been working at resolving the problems with email for some time. What’s the problem with email, anyway? To most geeks, the main problem with email is spam. But then again, most geeks don’t do all that much document-based collaboration, by email or otherwise. In your average corporate environment, though, this happens all the time. So what are the problems with email in a corporate environment, and what does Wave do to address them? Problem 1: Collaborating on a piece of text Google Wave resolves that by effectively integrating Etherpad’s features into the email client.
Conclusion. Google Wave Cinema: Pulp Fiction. Three Google Wave Searches Worth Saving. After only a few weeks of Wave usage, my inbox is been teeming with activity, full of waves from strangers who have added me and 17 other strangers to items I don't particularly care about.

My Favorite Google Wave Bots (So Far) Update: Check out my new book, The Complete Guide to Google Wave, for everything I know about Wave. The most updated list of my favorite bots is in Chapter 8: Wave Bots. A "bot" is one of two ways to add functionality to Google Wave. A bot is a contact you add to a wave, and it has the ability to automatically edit your wave or add to it. A bot examines the content of a wave, and updates/adds to it based on how it's programmed. To use a bot, add its email address to your contacts list. Create a new wave, then add the bot to it to try it out.

This page details the implication of the turn down process for Google Wave. Stage 1: Google Wave is read-only -- January 31, 2012 In this stage, you will no longer be able to create or edit waves. Marking a wave as read will also not be saved. Robots that try to write to a wave will stop functioning. During this time, you will continue to be able to export your waves using the existing PDF export feature. If you want to continue using Wave, there is an open source project called Walkaround that includes an experimental feature to import all your waves from Google.

C’est donc la veille du WE de Pentecôte que Google a décidé de lancer sa nouvelle “bombe” : Google Wave. Le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est que ce nouveau service est tellement novateur qu’en donner une définition fiable est un excercice de haute voltige : Went Walkabout. Brought back Google Wave. Pour faire simple : Google Wave est ou outil de collaboration qui se situe à mi-chemin entre l’email, la messagerie instantanée et le wiki ;Une wave est à la fois une discussion et un document, elle peut être exportée et peut encapsuler un certain nombre de social widget (au format Open Social) ;C’est une application en ligne, de même qu’une plateforme ouverte et extensible (chacun peut proposer son extension) mais également un protocole (que vous pouvez utiliser librement dans vos services / applications) dont le code source est publié (afin de bénéficier de l’apport de la communauté). Voilà pour une première description. Google Wave = Email 2.0 ou Wiki 2.0 ?
Google Wave = Lotus Notes 2.0 ?
