We had an all day workshop here in Cambridge (UK) yesterday about the future of Academic Networks. The consensus was, after much gnashing for academic solutions that are poor copies of existing corporate apps, something very like Google Waves. I think that universities in particular are going to take the Google Waves like a flock of ducks to water. However, they are almost certainly going to want to be running their own local federated wave servers, so some form of indexing and searchability is going to be essential in my mind.
