Testing out Wave for a little while myself, I agree with Jim’s comments that it could be useful, but the lack of people using it makes its value nearly impotent. What frankly surprised me about Wave is that it does not integrate traditional email with email 2.0, so to speak. If I could read my waves and my Gmail messages in the same inbox, Wave would be a much more useful tool. As it stands now, I have to keep a separate tabs for Gmail, Google Wave, and Google Reader. It is nice that a single log-in works for all three, but more integration would be welcomed. Until Wave becomes a standard mode of communication, it will take a back seat to email.

Thanks for Cliff Kvidahl for sending me an invite. I also have a number of invites left, so if you’re interested in checking out Google Wave, I can send you one. If you’re on Wave already, let me know (and I’ll send you spam).
