Hi Doug
Wave is many things, and is useful in many ways. Everyone sees some subset
of its feature as the core features. I personally think that the
following features define Wave:
1. Centralized model - everything is on the server. No fragmentation of
information like in emails.
2.
Sure, I totally agree with the points you've raised.
I just don't see how wiab addresses them, or realistically has any roadmap
to addressing them.
To be a compelling offering wiab seems to be trying to duplicate what
google wave was (and fair enough, that was the goal right?) but that means:
It is different from a forum, however a forum like interface was exactly how I
would have got people interested. Instead of going about the wave way of doing
thing an obscurities like blips, users didn't necessarily had to know any of
that. You introduce it slowly, using what user are used
