Call me crazy, but isn't this the early days of ICQ all over again? IM is real time enough.

It maybe the companies like yammer.com and obayoo.com end up striking just the right balance between open discussion and conciseness of context. Just because you can talk to everyone in the whole world doesn't mean you should or even that anyone will listen. Relationship still matters….

Thanks for reviewing this. I was waiting for you to say something about it. haha. When I first heard about it I was super excited. My 'emotional' reaction was that anything Google produces is going to be straight up gold. I did not get an invitation to test it out but you're right… the real-time replies would throw me off. I do the same thing you do with my emotional responses. I type them out because sometimes it's just good to get that out… even if no one ultimately ends up reading it. Then save it and come back to it later.

But if the internet and if people are really using the internet for their church experience, what better platform for prayer than wave? To me this would be the closet thing to group prayer as you can get without being their. I would rather grab someones hand as too maybe feel what their going thru but….

Interesting. I rewrite important emails all the time. But I think group collaboration that isn't emotionally charged could be very powerful in this instance. Allowing people to communicate instantly and over a period of time, in the same space, has potential. I think Google has the chance to pull it off!

From the little testing I've done, Google Wave doesn't seem as impressive as FriendFeed. It does pretty much the same thing – bar the ability to watch people typing (screwing up) in real-time. And FriendFeed also provides an RSS Feed, which lets you know when a new topic has been brought to your discussion table. And there's that little edge of being able to connect with people you are already connected with on all of the other social networks
