Yeah thats another cool feature, you see live what they are typing. Not 'RANDOMNAME is writing a message...'

It'll be one of those things that'll only be good if lots of people use it. If you can't persuade any friends outside the little nerd bubble to adopt it, it'll fail like every other good tech innovation and its dog. Hope it doesn't though!

I can't wait to try this out. People who say that it will overhaul Twitter are wrong, simply because of the UI.

You can run twitter within it and even do things with twitter twitter itself doesn't support? checkout the twitter bot demo :p

I have Google Wave and I don't really like it personally.

I think it'll be great as a more professional communication gateway. I actually cannot wait! :L

I'm gonna guess you mean a dev key and access to the sandbox, as google wave hasn't been released yet in any form o.0

It's extremely confusing to the end-user at first, ill tell you that.

Unless they make it easier for "newbies" to get what is going on then it won't take off, it took me a while to work out what was going on and I'm still not sure if I totally get it, but to be fair, now I look at it again I think it was broken yesterday or the day before and now it looks a lot cleaner and nicer to use LOL.

To be honest, the layout is pretty similar to outlook and other email clients so where everything is is pretty much the same, hence my view its simple. The advancement comes in the pure power of what u can do with the waves you create :p

BTW: what app did u say u were plannin to write to apply for the dev preview ?
