So I'm playing with Google Wave...
Nov. 13th, 2009 10:50 pmAssuming it doesn't crash and burn because nobody gets it (and I barely get it), it's going to be a hell of a service once it matures. It has some real potential to be a serious productivity and collaboration aid (and/or a total time-sink like Facebook).
At the moment it's seriously lacking in a lot of areas.
It needs better contact management and categorization, and perhaps a method for blocking undesirable contacts. Right now things are manageable, but that will change over time.
It needs an update notification system. Scheduled email summaries, IM integration, something.
It needs output services. I built a trip using "trippy" (which is a pretty cool and useful extension, by the way) but I've got no way to output it (other than a screen print).
