Figuring out Google Wave

Thanks to a coworker, I recently jumped into the pool that is Google Wave.   (I couldn’t resist the water analogy.)  While I find many of its features exciting and innovative, like many other people, I am still kind of struggling with it. The best thing I think it could do for me at the moment is to facilitate real-time collaboration.  However, I don’t have anything right now — or anyone — that I need to collaborate with!

Just for kicks, I decided to start a public wave on the topic of UIUC GSLIS. With it in place, will anyone come? It’s too early to know for sure.

After about two weeks of dabbling, I can say that this service is very interesting but the beta label definitely applies.  Stability isn’t its strong suit, yet.  Neither is performance.
