Dude its a massive disappointment - they have made it so overcomplicated its near pointless
And worse still when there are multiple users on you can see everything they type as they type it - just think about how many times you change your mind about what you should type! - my mate likened it to watching someone pee.
Having said that PM me yer email and Ill send you an invite :D

Ah in the time it took me to slag it off you have got an invite - gah!

Hope you get more out of it than me

Yeah I couldn't get into it. Feels like an uncomfortable middle ground between email and IM.

I have it but never used it

I think it might be a step in the right direction, but until there is some remote desktop that supports audio back & forth...

I'll just stick to the old fashioned way of collabing

I read somewhere you could turn off that feature so they cant see what you type is this true?

Yeah it's true.

You know I was all excited about this coming out and found myself an invite asap but when it's actually in front of you it is quite disappointing to be totally honest. It may become something once developed tho. And I think it's pretty simple actually but the actual convos are real messy. I don't think they should have released it as is. We will see like I said I think it's just way off from becoming what it could possibly become if that makes sense.

Same, I know people who use it, but it doesn't interest me yet. I will give it another chance again down the line. It's still early beta, lots of things that would be useful aren't functioning like the file drop feature. Plus I don't like the idea of having to use a browser. If they make a standalone version it would be better IMO.

If you use Chrome, then you can make a standalone application which makes a shortcut on desktop/quick launch that opens the page. I use it for my emails and waves. :wink:

i love google (i hope they rule the earth someday) but wave is a massive disappointment. tbh i was expecting something holographic.
