His criticisms of both email and wave are very valid, but his dismissal is rather shortsighted. Wave is barely even worthy of an 'alpha' label, let alone a 'beta'. Several of his concerns (deleting waves, BCC, social networking, etc.) are features planned but not yet implemented. If he's looking for a finished product, then he's simply looking for the wrong thing at this time. Otherwise, "patches welcome, Scoble." Furthermore, Wave and Twitter are very different beasts. I wouldn't compare them at all. I think this comparison is much better: http://danieltenner.com/posts/0012-google-wave.html Wave solves problems for teams working together, particularly in-house document sharing. It has _a_lot_ of missing features, but with the work being done on it, I expect a fair bit of improvement over the next year or two. -- J. Aaron Farr 馮傑仁 www.cubiclemuses.com
