I haven't yet had the chance to play with Google Wave (*grumble* *grumble*) and as a result have only been half-following the enthused pronouncements of people about how it will change the game. But still, Dave Pollard's comments are worth noting. "instead of the communications and conversations about a new project being widely dispersed and unconnected, the entire set of conversations on a project can be captured and disseminated as a single wave, allowing far more participation, self-organization, information and idea exchange and assessment, project coordination, and collaboration to occur, involving a much broader set of interested, creative and knowledgeable people." Oh, but wait. Don't we want our conversations to be distributed?
