Ditto...this looks awesome. There are not a lot of really *new* things, but
rather a comprehensive collection of integrative, collaborative communication
tools. Some of the coolest parts, at least to me, are that:
1) it's open source
2) it's fully extensible
2a) translate is pluggable (yes, I watched the whole thing), allowing for
real-time (character-for-character) IM language translation
3) real-time (RT) communication is a constant theme: RT search updating, RT
chat, RT document editing and change-tracking, RT attachment management, etc.
4) it allows not just for tags, but folders, contacts, threads, etc. and has a
much more natural and intuitive organization of communication flow
I've seen most of these things done, sort of, independently. Real time document
sharing and change-tracking almost like source control, or like dropbox; inline
commenting/conversation like we already do manually with email, but automated;
Putting them all together like this, though, is pretty rad.

Subject: Re: [LinuxUsers] Google Wave
Disagree.... this has nothing that compares with twitter. I think of this more
like email (mostly gmail) on steroids, with IM concepts built in, along with
collaboration environment aspects. The email traditionalists will cringe at
this for some reason or another, I think this is way cool, wonder when accounts
will be available, and how it can communicate with people not on wave. Only
watched until 40min of the video.

Looks like twitter on crack.
