The idea of collaboratively editing a session transcript and backchanneling in real-time actually hadn't occurred to me. Genius. I see two major flaws: provision of reliable Internet access at conferences is still Not Done Well; and the drawbacks of the current Wave UI implementation do not really encourage this sort of thing. (Oh, and trolling, yeah.) I mean, we could have collaborative transcript wikis at conferences already, right? Add Twitter and what value does Wave really provide, especially given the discoverability problem? Why don't we have transcript wikis? Perhaps that is something to address first. I'd like to see (and wish I had time to create) a universal backchannel solution and this is certainly one platform that could well be worked in, but you gotta get over that offline barrier somehow.
