I’ve had my Google Wave account for just over six weeks now. I posted asking for your contacts so us Reformed folk could connect. Despite not wanting to feel like this about Google Wave (I had high expectations), at the moment I’m left agreeing with Steve Rubel who asked, “What problem does it solve?”
Earlier today Jason Smathers tweeted the following graphic which I think sums up Google Wave ‘in theory vs. in reality’ rather nicely.
In all honesty, I think there is potential for Google Wave and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for it. Presently though, I log-in about once a week for less than a few minutes. Don’t sweat if you don’t have an invite yet.

I feel the same way. It’s scratching an itch I just don’t have.
Yup, Google Wave has to be the most boring app ever conceived…
I have an account but have yet to figure out what I would ever really use it for.
Folks, I appreciate the challenges and want to offer what may be a little help. Like all disruptive technologies it’s easy at the outset to miss its justification. Of course, some are boons and some are busts. I’d say it’s too soon to say for Wave, but to help appreciate just some of the ways it may make a difference, here are several resources, from recent to a few months ago, which can help better assess things:http://mashable.com/2009/11/22/news-media-google-wave/http://mashable.com/2009/09/05/google-wave-ideas/http://mashable.com/2009/05/31/google-wave-features/http://mashable.com/2009/05/28/google-wave-guide/And still more at:http://mashable.com/tag/google-waveHope that’s helpful.
I’m on google wave as KevinLFowler…and I am reformed.
