I agree that file sharing needs to be added. It would be great to incorporate Google Docs as well so work can be exported along the way. I imagine that once it is more widely used and developers spend more time on it, very powerful widgets will be created. That will be what sets it apart from typical chat and wikis.

I have been using wave for a few weeks now and yes the education site is a mess/mass of new users. While it is new and full of bugs I have used it effectively for collaboration with across our small team as we collect links, tools and develop strategies. I have over the past few days enjoyed it as a forum to more detailed discussion post the Learntrends Webinar with Jay Cross, Jane Hart and other learning visionaries. hang in there….be good to touch base as I am also here in Hawke’s Bay

@bill thanks for your comment Bill. It is exactly the chaos of this time as we attempt to figure out the conventions for using Wave, a new tool with new users, that I was trying to capture. Currently we are using it as an all-of-the-above tool – “make it do everything”.

I remember feeling similarly overwhelmed when I first got on Twitter. I can’t wait to see the community begin to create rules, conventions & habits to ride the Waves as we’ve done for Twitter with our @replies and #hashtags.

People are learning how to use Wave. It is new. The conventions for using it (e.g., not talking over each other) are emerging. The system itself is not yet finished (that’s why they call it a “beta test”).

Don’t expect perfection in the first few days in an unfinished, unreleased product filled with new users. Good grief.

Completely agree. Wave is not for everyone. Looks like most value like come to better communication within companies and organisations. Although I am looking forward to being able to add waves to websites and see live editing of comments etc.
