Not all of these early adopters used Wave in the same way that you or I would have as end users of Google's offering. See: http://tinyurl.com/yboudhx for an example of an experimental business modelling tool built on top of Wave by SAP.

I always thought that this was the most interesting part of Wave, and the part with the most potential - at its core, it's a system for collaboratively editing documents. I hope we'll see more interesting things built on top of this core now it's open source. I always hated what Google tried to do with it, which is a shame - the tech is really cool.



(side note - why the tinyurl?)


Because the original URL was very long?


And why's that a problem? You know - compared to TinyURL going bust in a few years and your comment losing it's context...
