the bigger question is (although I love Wave) will it allow people to integrate their regular email with Wave mail in one session, I also wonder if they will eventually adopt a twitter like feed stream – neither questions covered in their 80 minute developers presentation

I’m not a beta user, but have seen some comments that these are separate entities

as far as spam, my understanding is that a wave is a self contained unit..meaning its an invite only micro-event, therefore spamming is cut off at the source

Ahah! Those are excellent points you raise Kimmo. You’re absolutley right. I am definitely in the minority when it comes to putting up with the google madness only to make use of Google’s Chrome. And the spamming… I’ve been moaning for several weeks about the spam in twitter. Enough to send me searching for the next twitter. I am going to play with Wave of course… but you’re right.. I’m likely only to use it in a professional setting… but I can’t imaging putting up with more madness beyond Chrome just to have the right. I wonder who will trump Google’s Wave? Cuz you know… whoever it is… they are already all over it. HAH!

No doubt there’s also going to be Crazy Fast spamming. Let’s hope Google can find a way to keep spammers at bay. At least Gmail’s spam filters seem to be extremely efficient.

The problem with Google services is that they’re not very business-friendly. I can’t imagine my clients getting themselves a Google identity just to collaborate with me. As long as Google shuts out non-accountholders their services are going to be pretty unusable from a business point of view.
