Have it open all the time and using it for a replacement for chat, email and docs. Still in email and chat and our usual tools, but most of our team has just been getting our invites so we can start having larger conversations over things. And we keep finding new things, like the ability to tag waves in the bottom left, and then you can have saved searches that will show those waves, etc. as you work on them.

What a great, but really quite obvious idea. Combing chat and email makes perfect sense. Now for the race to see who becomes the standard protocol that everyone must follow! Wow!

Be good to chat sometime about this. Also I am in the midst of something quite extraordinary with the Bible page on Facebook. It has just passed 800,000 'fans' and according to Inside Facebook, is one of the fastest growing pages with Vanity URLs. Check it out at: http://www.facebook.com/TheBible what is amazing, is the ministry that is happening around it, prayer, support, evangelism and so on. I have Muslim and Atheist evangelists targeting it! Well be good to chat some time. God bless, Rev Mark http://www.facebook.com/MarkBrown.page Hey! Be good to chat sometime about this.

Google Wave is the most recent approach to think differently, MediaWiki/Wikipedia is another, and IM/VoIP are other ways that this is being challenged. The key is making sure that the communication is relevant, not the silo/manner in which it is done. For that, Wave is good to note because its asking people just to commnicate, not asking them how. Let me know when *smart* phones get the same message (I should not have to guess whether someone is busy or not; smartphones and the networks attached to them should be smart enough to notice that for me, based on the receiver's mobile setting/location/context).
