I'll have to try it out when I get home tonight. I was one of those who used it and forgot about it. I used it for 2 or 3 days and then it just kind of slipped my mind....I didn't miss it, lol.

Wave is one of the biggest time sinks I have come across in the work place. A simple email chain is substituted with something people can add, edit, insert graphs, insert tables and votes. Before you know it you have 2 or 3 waves on different subjects and you spend half the day checking each one when there is a change.

Honestly its a good idea but for the workplace it has to be heavily moderated by someone.

Exactly. As anyone that has worked in a business environment that lives and breathes email everyday, you want less mail not more. Wave gives TOO MUCH input.

If I wanted that much input, I'd rather call a quick meeting or better yet, just use sharepoint. Or maybe "wave" would work better as some outlook plugin tied to sharepoint. I don't know.

Wave is a complex solution looking for a problem.

Sometimes Google has too many geeks in the kitchen, not enough "normal joes" to bring them back to earth.
