I haven't used Wave yet. My good friend nominated me (or whatever they are calling it) and I'm just waiting. But, I can't help but feel the backlash at the instant typing is just the anti-Google backlash that happens with their new releases and dies back down after a bit. The complaints, starting with Farhad Manjoo from Slate all boil down to this sentence, "I don't like instant type because it makes me feel like / shows that I am not as witty or well spoken if I can't carefully craft a message before sending, this makes me self conscious". I think, perhaps, people just need to adjust to this new, old, form of communication. I suspect that this can deliver a similar experience to speech if users put in the time to develop new habits. In speech most languages / cultures have developed ways to show they are thinking mid sentence... This may be in the form of a sound "uhhhh" or a facial expression (furrowed brow). We just need an acceptable way to do this as we type.
