A few of mine tried. After a couple hundred messages, you have to type each character and wait a second or two before you can type the next one.
I finally gave up when it started taking me more than a minute to type a short sentence. I started longing for the incredible speed of BBSes and my old 300-baud modem.

Some friends and I have used Wave for a LOST discussion group every week, and it's pretty bad by the end of each episode
The Wave or the show?

I thought the same thing about my penis.
Admittedly, I can't share MP3s with it, like Google Wave, but other collaboration is a go...
