[...] keep it simple, and perhaps to quote my fellow Wave surfer, Ridzuan, I prefer to see Google Wave as a combination of a Wiki, IM & [...]

Wah thanks Kris. I never knew that. But like Ridz, I’m mostly on Chrome now too.

FF gets too clunky after a bit. I like Chrome.

@Krisandro: eh thanks! that’ll be really useful although i’m mostly on chrome these days… I’m still forced to use FF because of it’s plugins

Well, i’d want notifications to be sent if there’s a change in a wave I created(or subscribe for notifications) because right now i keep going back in just because I need to check if there’s an update. I think it’s just a matter of how they execute the notifications. Because checking the wave account just to find that there’s no update is a serious waste of effort.

Perhaps it’s better implemented as a bot or something

If you are using firefox, there is this add-on that will have a small icon sit prettily on your statusbar; telling you when you have new waves/wavelets in your wave. Okay…. that was a mouthful.

u want them to send u an email when u get a new message in wave? isn’t that a duplication of content? why would u want to do that?

firstly, it creates more emails for u to check and read, and then u have to delete / clear those emails, and login to wave to respond to the messages there. if people start chatting on wave, that’s gonna flood ur mailbox. in addition, when (not if. when.) it becomes mainstream at workplaces, imagine the chaos. u get a wave, an email appears in ur mailbox. the wave gets updated, another email. another update, another email.

i will slap the wave developers if they allow this to happen. haha.

that said. i think wave is still a great too for work, for collabs and like u said, updating everyone at one place (with them being able to see that there ARE updates) without having multiple emails being sent back n forth. (which nullifies ur last sentence, doh.)

i can’t wait for wave to really become widespread and for people to stop asking, “uh. ok, so i have a google wave account. what do i do with it?” heh.
