I thought the same thing, "meh", until I had an epiphany last night. I really think this changes everything. People keep leaning on the document aspects of it, but I tend to think of sites like reddit, digg, hn, even 4chan and how, if applied, it changes the way web communication happens. Imagine a realtime Reddit with living, breathing comment threads. Even the StackOverflow model becomes something new with this. Even more basic than that is how this, I believe, will replace email for even casual users. I'm sure the rest of you have similar experiences where you get involved in long email threads with friends, and how that can slow down, say, planning something to do that night, or planning a trip or some kind of thing that requires consensus and a bit of discussion. The flow of reply-all, wait, reply-all goes away completely. And, of course, the collaboration aspects of it are pretty awesome. So I wasn't convinced until last night, and now I'm nearly as excited as when I first saw the graphical web with Mosaic or sent my first email with a NeXT box in college or dialed up my first BBS. There is quite a bit of promise here.
