I have spent the last two months working with Google Wave, and I've come to many varying opinions but one certain conclusion: It is no fun to wave by yourself.
It is as pathetic in cyber reality as it is in real reality, trust me and the thousands of geeks like me who got all excited when they got their invitation (thank you John Hagner) and started exploring. Most people who have an account haven't signed on since the first time they tried. And so none of your friends are there to wave when you are.
But get a collective of people to commit to a certain regular time and commit to create a play in that time, and it gets a little more exciting.
