Ride the Wave

I just got my invitation to Google Wave, and already I've grabbed my board and gone surfing! Right now, I'd say the conditions are partly cloudy, with only three foot swells.

From first glances, Google Wave (the new addition to my PLN), seems a lot like an ordinary email, except that the email messages back and forth are in small twitter-esque size boxes. It also feels a little less formal than email. I have begun a few "waves" with some friends, however, I have not yet tried out the live chat. I'm especially excited about eventually trying out the chat language translator.

Overall, as of now, I am a bit confused by the set up, but I guess there's always a learning curve.

Update: As I was writting this,I was "Waving". The live chat the same thing as the email "wave". I say my friend's message as he typed and edited it.
