Google Wave
-
So I realise Nokia and Google are Phone competitors and all, but this looks too cool (although possibly not so useful?) to miss out on.
Has anyone found a proper use for the collaborative side of it though?
I'm giving it a test run designing some software with a friend, but it hasn't quite proven itself yet.

Marius and myself gave it a test run on a Friday afternoon and we could both see how it might become useful. It has been a while since I checked but it felt like they are just not quite there yet. We'll see.

Yes, it still seems a bit sluggish, but shows promise.
I have not looked at how hard it is to build extensions, thats my next job. We shall see...

last time i checked the permission system wasn't there at all, so everyone invited could read and write as they want. no idea if they managed to improve it.

google axed it in the end:

Unfortunately, Wave was a great idea with a less than perfect implementation, poor usability and awful integration into existing systems.
Did they really think they can kill e-mail?
