I am not sure. Google wave was a bit much for me when people were editing their own text in real time. To have us work on the same text, might set off exponential confusion.

agreed. good stuff for particular uses… but, not a good catch-all service.

I used this about two or three weeks ago. It seemed very cool. I think it will serve as a great tool for a smaller groups with agreed-upon constraints. When I tested it out with a group of people they were using it as a live chat platform. The potential problem users could encounter using this is that anything you write is too easily deleted. As the group size increases, you risk the potential of people (probably in the fray) going against the group goals.

It is maybe akin to using small-group discussion versus having one person speak. A small-group discussion is good when there is a small group; however, as the group increases there are almost too many cooks in the kitchen, which works to the detriment of the "common good."
