  Google Wave was an inspiration to the product I am building right now[1], which is a personal wiki / note-taking app based around cards. The RTC isn't quite there yet (only a decade behind Google, haha), but there are a variety of other features (like multi-parent nested hierarchies) that I think are quite cool!

  OneNote is older than Google Docs. Writely was released in 2005, Google acquired it and released GDocs in 2006. The first version of OneNote to be released was in Office 2003.
