Not the folks at the Chicago Tribune’s RedEye. On December 28, 2009 the topic of the Daily Wave was RedEye’s Pop Person of the Year, Lady Gaga.
The Chicago RedEye Twitter account (@ redeyechicago ), administered by Scott, also encourages readers to enter the online discussion by sending out a tweet or two announcing the Daily Wave topic. Scott sets a conversational tone at the outset of this particular Daily Wave by writing “Sorry for my slowness – I’m eating a cookie.”
Comments come predominantly in the form of text. A Wave occurs in a non-linear fashion with comments often being added above-the-fold of the most current window of conversation.

Confused about how to use Google Wave, the new Google product that combines messaging, wiki-like features and group collaboration into a single app? You're not alone. To clear up the confusion, we recently published Google Wave: A Complete Guide, a feature-length article that explains Wave in plain English. Now Gina Trapani and Adam Pash have gone a step further, releasing The Complete Guide to Google Wave.
The book, which is available for free online, details all of Wave's features - and some use cases - in 8 chapters. It's a super-handy reference if you're still stuck on how to get the most out of Wave.
