Does that mean we can't build something that would be useful for you? You can always do something profound and useful. Just make sure you don't get carried away with your own excitement. Browseology and Wave share real-time features, but that doesn't really mean they're the same "idea". Remember that the wave idea and online shopping are completely separate things. I think your mistake was in not realizing this. Real-time editing, which is the similarity you mentioned, has already been implemented in apps like Google Docs and Etherpad. And you're right, it's not a good idea to try to get attention by taking the spotlight from someone else (although it could be said that Google's partial Wave release was a response to Microsoft's Bing announcement). One thing you could do right now is write an analysis of the technical aspects of what you did, comparing yourself to Wave and other real-time apps. Make sure you talk about both the similarities and the differences, especially what makes your app different.
