I have both sandbox and preview. I use both because there are different sets of participants in each. The sandbox has powerful tools listed under a "Debug" menu item that helps a lot when it comes to understanding what is going on. They are not federated yet. By this I mean you cannot easily send a wave from one to the other. However, the whole universe of google gadgets, including aunt- [email protected], can be explored from both. People are coming up with applications now that seem to allow outsiders in. By this I mean that you can start a wave, add participants and gadgets and then send it to an archiving blog site for viewing and interacting by people who have not received invites for either. One of these sites, if I recall correctly, is something like waverz.com. If your knowledge of the APIs is good enough, you can create robots, extensions, gadgets, embed waves, etc. from either play area. It's easier to do this, however, in the sandbox. There are more participants in the preview area, so if you are concerned about latency issues you can go back and forth to try things out. Have fun! I know I am enjoying this.
