Google docs paired with Google chat/talk is still my preferred method of getting things done. In the rare instance I need to search for an interaction it's easy enough to search through my chat history and gmail. I've used Google Wave a few times and these are the issues I have with it still: 1. The feature set and jargon is overwhelming. I still have yet to use half of the buttons available in the UI. 2. The marketing around it is really confusing.. Is this supposed to be a Gmail replacement/augmentation and will Gmail development slow down in favor of this new model? Hello Microsoft marketing team. 3. Real time character by character chat is weird and a little creepy. Still not used to that. 4. I'm on a fairly powerful machine yet FF or Chrome still seem pretty bogged down after moderate usage. For this guy it seems really useful and that's great but his case also seems to be a niche one. I'm involved in 2 startups and my current setup with Google docs and Gmail suit my needs for collaboration just fine.
