FWIW, I'm seeing the same thing.  It looks like the "with:public" query now 
gives me back a static list that's about 20 minutes old.  So it's not just
you.

I could only speculate as to why this is the case.  More specific searches 
(e.g. "with:public wave") give me more recent results, but they all seem to 
go static.  Maybe the hamster died ;-)

Mike,

Thanks for confirming it not just me.  

I tried it all the major browsers in Linux and Windows - Chrome, FF3, IE8,
Safari - and got the same results.  (The only browser I tried that Wave
didn't work well with was Opera 10.10 running in Windows XP.)


It seems like the "with:public" query is paused, but I can't figure out how
to resume or "unpause" it.

When the public wave list was actively showing updates, as it had been at
the meeting and up until recently, there was a pause function that I
currently don't see available.

As I said in my original post, with more and more invites going out and more
folks figuring out how to use and create Wave's public waves, if anything
there should be a lot more public posts which we should be seeing
dynamically being created and updated in real-time unless, of course, the
updates were intentionally paused.

As busy as the dynamic public waves were when Wave was showing them updated
in real-time it was a serendipitous way to find interesting and useful
public waves that I might not have found if I'd only done a narrow
with:public query.  It also gave a window into the public wave world as to
which public waves were the most active.
