The user interface you see isn't that relevant to the long-term success. It's a bit like Mosaic - a good start, but only a hint of the full potential.

To really see if it's worth the buzz :) I think it CAN be a well needed change - at least my e-mail folders are not a pretty site! And collaboration on documents is freakishly disturbing in my office... And ppl use MSN and Skype...alternate between them - bloody irritating if you ask me. If you get it, can I use it - I promise I'll explain each step I take and the outcomes ;-) No invitation in site – but I have a heap of things I would like to execute in Wave!

I know it's long, but there's a good deal of explanation in there. "Email may not have evolved because there’s no need for it to do so." - I couldn't agree less! Reply/reply to all, emails with recurring quoted information 17 pages long, with some people replying above the citation, others below, missing recipients when replying to older emails and trying to piece together bits of information from 20 different emails "I emailed you that, didn't you read it?". As far as I'm concerned, email is the cancer of modern day communication. We'll never get rid of it entirely, but Wave might just provide a cure to fit the deadliest of symptoms. Cheers, EP.

It will be interesting to see how - and if - people adopt their new way of working, but if Gmail is anything to go by, I'm sure the large majority won't be disappointed.
