Think I'll pass on Wave... and any google products actually beyond their search portal.

Have some serious misgivings about any company that seems intent on following in Gates' footsteps (trampling on fundamental privacy rights and arrogantly thinks we shouldn't have control over our personal identifying data). Look no further than Chrome OS, which runs on your box with all your data conveniently stored remotely on their servers... Genius! Sure they let the user-base take a peek at the wealth of knowledge they catalog on you, but you can't prevent its collection as a user to permanently remove it. There's just something sinister about a "don't worry - trust us, we have only your best interests at heart" helping you run a fast machine mentality (backdoor big brother). But don't mind me;p

Why Google Wave Sucks, And Why You Will Use It Anyway

[snip]
Google Wave is a hot topic at the moment. The ambitious group collaboration and micro-messaging platform started rolling out in beta via an initial batch of 100,000 invitations two months ago. Many people still want invitations. Among those who’ve tried it, some criticize it, some praise it. For now it has a lot of usability problems that are described below. Yes, you should look at Google Wave. But there is no need to desperately long for an invitation yet.
