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.

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.
