If You Like Interrupting People, You'll Love Google Wave 

My initial thoughts of Google Wave are positive. It is a real-time online collaboration for teams. As you type, you can see others in the same wave type live as well. You soon discover who has exceptional typing skills and are able to quickly brainstorm ideas. I would love to see it enhanced to provide streaming live video for these discussions as well.

For those who are drowning and not riding the Google Wave yet, remember that it takes training, time and personal experiences to learn to be efficient with any tool, especially Google Wave. While few are Google Wave experts, it is important to dive in and see if Google Wave is for you. Most of us who are splashing around are very open to sharing tips and ideas. Click here for a helpful and free guide on getting started in Google Wave. You may add me to your contacts at jennydevaughn@googlewave.com.

As Amitai Givertz said, “There is no comfort in the learning zone and no learning in the comfort zone.” Break free of your comfort zone and jump into Google Wave.

The problem with the folks like Google & Yahoo is that they have created many tools which have been loosely coupled. The challenge with such a solution is that the the information gets locked into multiple silos. With Google Wave they are trying to integrate all the conversations (discussions) but what would be truly desirable is a platform built form ground up using social networking at the base and business apps on top of it. I have tried Injoos Teamware (www.injoos.com) and found it captures both informal and formal knowledge like documents in one single workspace on the cloud.
