Reminds me of a similar debate my friends had when Google Wave first came out.

  But Google Wave was up front about it, and both parties can see what each other is typing.

    Not only that, but "talk" on Unix had that for 20+years before that.

      Unix/Linux talk/ntalk is my favorite method of textual communications. Too bad I can only use it with a few of my friends, and only occasionally at that. We can communicate far more quickly if both can see the other's questions/answers even before they are fully typed out.
