Google Wave Preview Review: "Revolutionise Email"?

Here I show you Google Wave. To me, its a nice collaboration tool. Will it replace E-Mail, IM or anything else for the average user? I don't think so. What do you think?

You dont have to have a invite, I have an have send them some feedback, and they say it is open to anyone who has a google account!

[mobilephone2003]

Nope. When you sign in with the google account it says its in limited preview. You can request an invitation though.

It seems like an email / irc / instant messenger / forum / wikipedia mashup.

[mobilephone2003]

do you think it will replace those technologies?

[smonocco]

i cant see myself using something like this anytime soon

[lilron765]

Seems kind of pointless nothing was wrong with email so why change it.

[dacooter]

i would try it i guess

Man, I've wanted an invite to this ever since I first heard about it. How did you get so lucky to get an invite?

As for it replacing E-mail, you never know. Obviously, it probably won't sweep the web and replace it right away, but it might ease in more slowly. Like G-mail. I can remember when G-mail first launched, and nobody I knew had it. Now, EVERYONE has a Gmail, so much so that if you give someone two e-mail addresses, there's a 95% chance that they'll assume the Gmail is your current one.

AIM has offline IMs, and realtime IMs, so it seems like the same thing.
