I use facebook to keep in casual touch with people I like but whom I don't have time (or travel options) to see in-person on a regular basis. So instead of a big catch-up once a quarter (or year!), I'm more-or-less in-tune with what's going on with them. At least with the frequent posters /

Well, Wave is definitely in beta. Several of us looked at using it to augment a seminar we're taking with Nick. Several bumps. But it does show promise. Main concern: I'd like not to be sucked into any particular ecology. Google is insanely capable: Wave, Docs, App Engine, Pages,
