i got an invite yesterday and my bit of playing around in my own wave (no other contacts have wave) - was of no excitement (say compared to gmail when it came around) however I can imagine super productivity in communication/im for teams sitting across continents. A tiny advantage of wave is that you can watch your colleague typing realtime. Those two minutes of impatient waiting (specially during a heated discussion) now would be drastically shortened. You could forget IM etiquettes during 'waving'. I also thought of similarity with etherpad (specially the code while on the phone interview which was discussed earlier on HN)- where the interviewer may see the interviewee coding live. imho, google wave may not matter now, when the users grow to decent numbers, we will find out. PS: your gmail id becomes your google wave id (I had a good wave-id in the sandbox, i ended up getting my gmail account to the public preview).
